 * I migrated my sites to a new host, but some newer posts and tables did not transfer
   over. They are not in drafts.
 * The CPanel backup I got seems to be older than the posts. The plugin backup I
   made with BackWPup does not support restoring, and I do not have the skills to
   deal with this.
 * There are about 25 databases in my account. I don’t know how to even start to
   find the missing posts and tables.
 * Out of the 4 sites in the account there is just one that I had added new content
   to, so it’s a matter of just finding it for one site.
 * I am not sure if remigrating the site would produce the missing content either.
 * Any idea on how I can find the missing posts and tables?
 * Thanks!

 * When you use BackWPUp it creates a .sql file (either in the root or wp-content,
   I forget). Import that file into your database using phpmyadmin and you’ll have
   all the content you had when the backup was made.

 * Thanks. After seeing your post I tried that, but got error messages. I need a
   bit more detail or to hire someone.
