Missing data after backup - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

-

hi all

i appreciate urgent matter. asked upgrade joomla 2.5 site. took backup of site using akeeba. tried upgrade joomla broke site. restored backup. problem is, lot of data has disappeared. site appears have reverted in 2013. date on backup zip file correct. have no idea this. on akeeba site there’s “unorthodox: emergency restoration procedure” article. however, problem isn’t relating prefix’s, , when tried manually import sql file, 4 tables showed up.

i have tried performing backup on different server encountered errors.

“application error… exception — layout main/default not found etc…“

i can assume db corrupted. maybe akeeba not configured in first place. still don’t understand why has reverted older version.

before it…yeh…i should have tested backup before going ahead update, it’s done wandering if has suggestions? i’ve contacted hosting provider doubt have backup. think i’m in deep…

thanks

suggest have @ adminstrator/components/com_akeeba/backup. allows both full , incremental backups. if lucky full backup can found there.

also suggest have @ docs.joomla.org proper migration of site. suspect making many more mistakes!
