Topic: Problem Restoring Backup

Hello,
My forum www.brokeneden.com/forums/ got hacked by Snakeq3i.
The error it gives is: Unable to fetch user information.

I have a backup which i made with the backup plugin i downloaded form the mainpage.
Becouse it was on the official site i thought this plugin would be good.

My problem now is i cant restore it.
When i use the backup in the other plugin (DB manangement) its loading so i waited toll it saud done.
After checking nothing changed, structure hasnt changed and i still dont have posts.
I also tried restoring the backup i had with phpMyadmin but that also wouldnt work...

What did i do wrong?
And even more how can i fix my forum?
Thanks,

Tim Lolkema

Re: Problem Restoring Backup

Try removing the queries adding the data for the search_* tables (leave the ones restoring the structure if needed though). That will reduce the size of the backup file and may help you be able to do it successfully. You can restore the data from those tables in the Maintenance section of the admin panel.

Can you say anything about how the site was hacked? Do you have the latest version of Pun? Was it a PunBB problem or something else?
