Hello there,
I'd like to ask you how can I restore some deleted topics through a backup that I've.

I recruited a new Moderator in a specific forum (Portuguese Forum) and he deleted all the topics/posts since 2007.

These topics are really important to our forum so I need to get them restored as soon as possible.

The backup which I've ends with .sql (sql format). Now, how do I restore only Portuguese Forum's posts/topics without affecting the other forums/posts? If you could give me an answer, I'd appreciate it.

Thank you very much.
Yours sincerely,
Aphelion.
BUMP, anyone? :/
Hello...
basically you have to restore relevant threads from the threads table, posts from the posts table.
if the deleted threads / posts had polls and attachments then restoring them could be a complex process

Can you tell me how can I do this if the backup is an .sql file?
you can use a local server in your computer (eg. XAMPP / WAMPP), import the SQL backup as a new database
export required tables and import them to your MyBB web database
