.org has crashed

Chuck and I exchanged a number of emails the last couple of days.
He let me have a go at trying to restore the older backup. Both we both seperatly seem to have managed to get it to work again, although he got in running again on the older forumsoftware, I got it running on the latest forumsoftware.
But this is all on the old August backup. Things would be way better if the most recent backup could be put back online.

There seems to be something funny in the database-backup(s) that prevents an automated recovery/restore of the database.
Along with the fact the forum is running on old software and the database is fairly large, this doesn't make things easier.
