Hi Jon,

Welcome! Glad you found the site.

Yes, I can restore you DiscussionApp from the archive that you have as long as it is valid.

If you haven't already, please create a new account & DiscussionApp that can be used as a destination for your archive restore. You can do so using this form: https://nediscapp.com/account/wizard

Once your account is created and activated, there will be a section in your DiscussionApp's admin page to 'Import/Export'. In here and under the 'Import Disc App' section, you can upload your archive.

If you have issues uploading the data that way, you can also send it directly to nediscapp@gmail.com if you're comfortable doing that.

Once a copy of the archive is uploaded, I should be able to get the forum restored in a few days as long as there's no issues.

Please let me know if you have any issues creating an account or sending the archive to restore.

Thanks in advance!
Erik

    I had a discussion app forum several years ago that included many WWII veterans who shared their memories about the war. I have the saved archive and was wondering how I would be able to view the postings?... more

      I am looking for the file. What type of file(s) would it be? Jon

        Hi Jon, The file should be a .sql file. If I remember correctly, the original backups filename would be named something along the lines of 'disc_#####.sql' where '#' was your indices number. ... more
