BACKUPS: Is Restoring the App.YML File from Backup Possible?

Hello, my forum has shut down for a few months and its time to get it back up and running. I have restored all the data from the backup, however the app.yml configuration file seems to not have been restored and doesn’t have all my plugins + email configuration available. Is it possible to recover this with the backup? If so, how can I do it? Thank you.

As far as I know, this is not possible.

You should keep a separate backup of your app.yml file - this does not change often, so it’s easy to keep a copy.

Your option now is to manually restore the app.yml by editing the default file. This should not be too hard in most cases since it’s just the plugin list + some basic config.
