    Hello,
    I have the following problem. I had a wordpress site running in my personal computer. I un-installed wampserver without exporting my database and I only kept a copy of the folders in wamp. Now I re-installed wampserver. Is there any way to restore my database if I don’t have the file .sql? I mean to restore it only from the contents in the ‘data’ folder?

    Hi,

    If you don’t have your database, you can not restore your site, as all data (content, settings, relations between them …) are stored in database.

    Neither if I have the files from the folder C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysqlx.x.xx\data?

    I am not familiar with local environment, so don’t know how and where it store database, but if your database is there, you are safe 😉
    Just find the way how to import it to new installation, not sure if just copy that database will fix it.
