Clarification on "Clear Tables"
In the Import/Backup/Restore section the option to "Clear Tables" clears what?

Does this clear any existing links?
Does this clear any existing categories?
Does this clear any existing custom fields?
What about any existing link count - is this reset to 1?

I think these are important questions that are not explained in the help file.

Thanks.

Hi,

I believe this simply cleans out the lsql_links, lsql_CatLinks, lsql_Category etc tables - when doing a "restore" of a past backup.

Hope that helps.

Cheers
