Thread:Project:Support desk/Home-wiki is lost... How to restore it?/reply

Hi!

As to what you write I think that all your data is still there. In XAMPP the MySQL data is by default saved in mysql/data. So in your case this data should be in c:\xampp-old\mysql\data.

You can get the data out of the old server with the tool mysqldump (maybe you have to move the folder back to c:\xampp for that to really work correctly). Then put the new version of XAMPP in place again and use the new version of mysql to import the database dump again.
