I am hoping that someone out there can explain this to me.
I have just restored my website following online documentation. I first drooped all the database files, then imported a backed-up copy of the database held locally. I then replaced all the files in the live public_html with those from a backed-up copy.
But I notice that the backed-up copy of public_html included a version of the database file (.sql). So wondering whether I should have imported from the rebuilt public_html folder? Does it matter?
