Help - need to restore info

[rwhporg]

I accidentally changed values in the the configuration-shipping/packaging area for the package percentage rates. These were configured by someone who is no longer with us and I don't know what they are suppose to be. I have a backup but I don't know which file to restore.

Does anyone know which file holds these values?

Admin settings and values are stored in the database, mostly in the configuration table.

Do you have a DB backup ?

Most of the settings in that section should be pretty simple to figure out, though.

Yes I do... can I restore part of it(and if so how) or do I have to restore the whole thing?

[stevesh]

If you can use phpMyAdmin to browse the table in the backup to find the value you're looking for, you can change it manually in the current DB.
