Thanks, Greg, your thoughts are correct. The server backups are indeed used to restore the whole server, not individual sites. Restoring an individual site out of those files requires many hours of work and should only be done in extreme cases. I don't really believe in "accidental deletion" because Nabble shows a lot of warnings before the user clicks on the delete button. So you should only add to your site administrators that you can trust. Of course you can always download regular backups of your forum and keep that information safe in another location.

However, again from replies that I have seen Hugo make within Free Support, should that import of your personal backup be necessary then it would have to be to a new address. That means that any internal links within the forum would no longer work as the permalinks would have changed.

I have good news about this. Now it is possible to restore site backups to their previous IDs and keep everything just like they were before the deletion.
