title: Lost database for phpMyAdmin?
body: <p>I extracted the phpMyAdmin folder on my desktop to save my database, and I thought I would keep all my threads and posts for [MyBB][1]. Is there any way to retrieve/make the folder into a <code>.sql</code> file, or did I just lose about a years worth of threads and posts?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT
  Ok so since I have lost no data, how would I properly export it? I have seen that thread you have linked, no luck. Since I have only the folders, and I have switched over to new server host and a new site, how would I be able to access my database? How could I properly reinstall Phpmyadmin and MySQL with all my old data?
  Thanks guys for all your help!</p>
