    About profile pictures and uploads - @Axtremus could you maybe manually scan a backup that is at least three days old whether it contains a public/uploads folder or something? Maybe I can restore profiles etc.; I think I have only the backup of the database, but not of that folder (which is where profile images live).

      Nice going, Klaus - and thanks for all your work on this.

      I think we should award you a 100% pay-raise!

        For the techies: It turns out that the information about installed plugins etc. is all part of the database, so what I had to do was to unpack the backup, transform it to readable text, find the part about the plugins, remove the information about the plugin from the database, package it back up, and manually feed that data into the database.

            Damn, I'm glad that I finally got it to work again. I couldn't let the prejudice that CS academics have no clue about how to operate computers in the real world win 🙂

              But I’m not finding the thread where I was voted the smartest, most talented, and best looking man on the forum…

              Still, it’s nice to have 99%! Good job, Klaus!

                  I keep telling you all Twitter is bad!

                  @Klaus nice work man, I know that was a PITA.

                  BTW... does this mean I have 3 Reputation now? No more waiting 120 seconds!

                          Never mind, @Axtremus - thanks to the AWS command line tools I was able to download the full backups now.

                                      OK, I've now killed the other forum.

                                      From now on, I'm going to use a new workflow for updates: Before updating the main forum, I'll make a clone and test it there. That should hopefully make events like this less likely to occur.

                                      Oh, I also found all file uploads, so all previously uploaded files (such as "copy&pasted" images) should work again.
