[Answered] Cannot Restore Database With Format Filedb.sql.zip ?

[kucing]

why i cannot restore database with format filedb.sql.zip ?

[Shinryuu]

Wasn't it packaged as a .tar.gz? I haven't taken db backups but I know a backup of /public_html is packaged as such.

File may be compressed (gzip) or uncompressed.

A compressed file's name must end in .[format].[compression]. Example: .sql.zip

I'm guessing your zipped file is corrupt. What happens when you extract it first before you import it?

Actually partial database backups get created as .sql.gz files. The tar part isn't required because there isn't a directory structure, but it's still the same gzip type compression.
