Complications of restoring

I know how to restore a forum back to a certain date, but I was wondering if I restored back to late june this year, would I lose all posts from then to now? If so, is there any way I can protect these posts from deletion when the restore is in process?

Thank you,

Yes, You would lose all the posts, I'm pretty sure. No, There is no way to "Protect" posts, sorry!

Ok.
Can I leave this open just to make sure?

-Cold.

Yup, You can. I'm not the smartest with the backup system.

I might go test it on a old forum, maybe...

Hmm, I tried it on a test forum I use for theming, and it seemed to work and keep the posts. I would still appreciate any extra confirmation of it, though.

bump.
anyone know?

I think it would depend on what sort of restore you are doing. If you do a *full* restore, you'd maybe lose everything.

I am doing a user and post restore. Does that help?

Forumotion did go into a problem with four of their servers that lost infomation that can't be returned.

You wouldn't be able to go back to June as we are in July and only haves about 4 or 5 restore points.

So do I need to wait until Christmas or sometime after until I can restore them?

No because the restore points will be way gone.
