Restoring From Backup

257 posts
Sat May 18, 19 9:36 AM CST
I edited a contract which deleted the signatures.

Is it possible to restore from a database backup and to revert the contract to the previous state?

I just made a backup of my current state.

The previous backup was two days ago, and two hours before I changed the contract.

I only have two transactions between the time I changed the contract and now.

Thank you

Note: restoring a backup will remove any new data from the time you have exported the backup database to now. You can also ask your host to restore a backup of your site from their backups.

In your hosting control panel, create a new MySQL database, username and password.

Go into PHPMyAdmin from your hosting control panel.

Select your new empty database, click the Import tab and upload your exported database.

In your Sytist admin, click on Settings in the main menu. Then underneath the left menu click edit config file.

Replace the database information, name, username and password and save (save the current database info somewhere in case you need to revert back). The variables are:

$setup['pc_db'] = "database-name";
$setup['pc_db_user'] = "database-user";
$setup['pc_db_pass'] = "database-password";

If you get an error after changing this information then you entered in the wrong database information and your site is down. Then you will need to edit the sy-config.php located in your Sytist installation folder file through the hosting control panel using the file manager.

To go back to the old database, re-enter the previous database information into the sy-config.php file..
