I re-installed my board on the same server without making any changes but when i try import my backups, i tried 3 different ones i get the following message.
Error
SQL query:
[...]
MySQL said: Documentation
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '?LI?I?,HLI)J-.?SKRs2?R?????? #1?$3?"??????????n???Þ›?H????Z???9??yi?' at line 1
Could someone please help?
I'm using phpmyadmin and i'm the server owner.
What's the extension of the file you're importing?
It's ( longnamehere.sql.gz ) the same as it was when i downloaded it from the site using admin panel backup
It's a compressed archive. You need to decompress it and import the .sql file. If the backup is on the server, and you're using a linux distro, you can use the gunzip command.
I'm not able to unzip it, i get "Is not archive" (I'm trying to do it from windows).

I can't make it work
Looking at the file i think it's broken?
