BACK-UPS Not trying to start a forum war, but for asking a question you don't know the answer to that sounds a bit demeaning to mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMATycoon Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Yes, we take backups every day. They take a long time to restore though, hence why I just put a form up for people to pick their city. You can't restore just two variables from a table either.

anderson007 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 The website runs on a mySQL database that will be constantly changing. Every time someone does anything on the website be that send a message or change a fighters training the database is updated. So creating a backup while needed is not so helpful for smaller problems like this. For Mike to restore the backup to before the problem it would also reset everything in the database to the last backup. So basically anyone who has done anything after the time of the backup would lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
