Hi Guys,

Just a quick question - I did a fresh install of Mautic on a new server, if i have a backup of my previous installation is it possible to replace the new files with the old and have all my old data again? (or is it not that simple).

Hope that makes sense,

Cheers!

yes, but you will have to import your old db as well
