Here is what I did. I needed to create a smaller versions of an existing gallery on a new website.

So I simply copied the gallery directory to the new website (same host), and everything worked fine, or so I thought...

So when I went to look at the original today, it suddenly dawned on me that I screwed this up big time. The original gallery had all been changed, not the copy. I also did not have a copy of the original mysql db.

Is there anyway I can restore the original? Hosting provider is not being any help to me whatsoever.

thanks!

export the current db
setup a new db and import the old sql
point old gallery to new db
delete new items

don't have the old sql. the 'new' copy was actually going against old database, if that makes sense.

Just to clarify, I inadvertently deleted from the original gallery which I thought was pointed to the new copy.

You have one copy of a DB, it contains at least the base gallery.
use it to get the original gallery running. but you'll have to remove th new entries.
