Restoring a backup to my test database
August 24, 2008, 07:51:26 pm
I am in the process of setting up a test site that mirrors my production site. I am currently using Drupal 5.8 and CiviCRM 2.0.5. I have things configured so that Drupal and CiviCRM use seperate Databases. I have Installed Drupal and all the same modules as in my production site into my test stie. I have backup my production drupal db and restored it in my test site. I am now to the point of backing up my CiviCRM data from my production site and restoring it to my test site. When I try to do this (using phpMyAdmin) I get an error regarding the need for a dependency record when importing my data.

Any ideas how to work around this????

Thanks
Mike
