Hi Hans, > I had had a webserver hosted by a provider, which is switched off since a > year. From this server I got a backup of a sql database. The system that ran > that time, was wordpress, and the database is called something like > "bla_bla_wp2016018_911.sql.gz"
i suppose the backup has all the blog data, so yes, you should be able to resume from it your blogs (if you haven't deleted them). The backup of a database usually comes with all the data (of course) and with all the sql commands useful to recreate the tables. You only need to create a database for first. Here more info: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-backup-excerpt/5.7/en/reloading-sql-format-dumps.html After restore, you can browse the tables to find your blogs using Tora, phpMyAdmin, or any other tools. All the data will be of course with html tags. Good luck M
