----------------------------- Database Backup ----------------------------- Contained within this .zip file are two sets of backups taken from your website database. The .gz file is a compressed version of the .sql file. The .gz file is normally used to reset the database to this snapshot if necessary because it will take less time to upload. The .sql file can be used to reset a particular table manually, if necessary, by copying and pasting that table's code. ----------------------------- IMPORTANT If possible, before attempting to update your database using these snapshots, use your database admin facility to generate its own backup first, in case these files have been corrupted. -----------------------------
