Format for Links SQL Backup
I just went to erase a link, but I erased the category instead. I want to sleectively pull the data I erased from the backup and re-insert it into the DB. What format are the Backup files in? I remember it is somethingf simple, like tar. but I cannot seem to read them or open them in winzip...

Hi dave,

The backup files are plain text, but I'm not sure GLinks has the ability to selectively pull data from the backup, it's either all or nothing I'm afraid.

Cheers,
Boris

Thanks! I knew it was something simple.

I will massage the data I need.... I do not expect Links to do it...
