Help!!! Products replaced by old EasyPopulate data by mistake!

Help!!!

I have posted this in easy populate, but thought I would post here too as it is regaring re-instating my previous product data that has been overwritten!!

I have done something very silly!! I have uploaded an old txt file in error and now it has updated and added files going back to June.

I don't have any recent txt files and wondered if anyone knows how to restore what was in my previous backup if this is possible. I have no idea where to start.

I really hope someone knows the solution otherwise I will need to go through all of my items and check each one individually

Thank you!!

Re: Help!!! Products replaced by old EasyPopulate data by mistake!

If you have no backup, then the only possibi9lity is to ask your host if they have a backup of your database, or if they can extract a backup from the 24-hour period just prior to you loading the incorrect data.

(We host with a company that does full, autmomated backups every 6 hours - but we also do our own backing up)

You should... in any event, put your store into MAINTENANCE MODE right now, to prevent data being written to the database.

Then, restore from the backup the host provides.
