Hi!
I’ve deleted my “old” forum and forgot to save the css changes I made in the default theme.
The only backup I have is the dump.sql to restore it (and the images of course).
I already restored my forum and I know that the changed css was there, so it get restored as well with the dump. I looked into the sql file but couldn’t find it.
Can anyone please give me a hint for what I should look?
In the worst case I need to setup a new instance, restore it, copy the css and then destroy the forum again.
Thank you!

In my experience that is the fastest way to do it.

After I wrote this post I remembered that I forgot to save some other things like the topics in the docs. 🙈
Install → restore → backup → delete → start new 👍
