Lost my links.db, how to restore...
Hi,

By mistake i deleted my links.db that contained about 80 links (links v1.1). Links is creating backups, can that help me now? I have links 2.0, how can i re-convert 2.0's links.db to have it working on links 1.1?

Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you

If your Links 1.1 was making backups, use the most recent one. Just copy it back to the data directory as links.db. If it doesn't have all the links in it that it should have, also adjust the number representing the last link in the linksid.txt file in the data directory and then re-add the missing links.

I hope this helps.
