# Database Update Corrupted File Data?

 * Okay, not sure where to start. I updated from 3.3.2 to 3.4.1 and everything said
   it was successful. I backed up all of the site files and database prior to updating
   wordpress.
 * On this particular update (I run other sites as well) it said it needed to update
   the database after updating wordpress, which it also said was successful. Unfortunately
   though, it is all messed up.
 * To be more clear. Pages that were recently created are in the site but only the
   first line of information on the page exists. Data is missing in various spots
   on different pages which were created at different points in time.
 * I tried various things with no success. I did a clean restore of the entire site
   and imported the backed up database, but nothing changed – the information was
   still missing.
 * I am thinking that the “database” update has somehow corrupted the entire database
   structure. I tried doing a new install in another domain and imported the database(
   using V3.4.1) and same thing happened – actually the new install failed after
   importing the data.
 * I tried doing a new install of 3.3.2 and imported the database (still from before
   the update which was tested and had the “now” missing data) and was still unsuccessful.
 * ??? Seriously. Am I missing something here??? I updated 3 other sites fine with
   no request from wordpress to update the database. Is there a way to fix this?
 * I am fine with re-entering all of the data, if I have to. But I would like to
   know what happened. The only difference between the sites that I can think of
   is that I had tried using W3 total cache unsuccessfully and I am wondering if
   that messed up the data.
 * HELP…
