Lost my db, am I out of luck?

Post by buzo »

Hello folks,

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit, but I've lost my database backup for my site. I still got a backup of the site files from under /var/www, but I can't find the db file anywhere. I took this site down about a year ago, and would like to revive it.

I suspect I know what the answer will be, but I thought a check before giving up.

Thanks in advanced

Yes, unless you can find a backup copy of the database somewhere you are pretty much out of luck. All of your content is stored in the database.
