    I’m trying to recover some data from a backup database not restore the whole backup

    I’ve downloaded the DB backup to my Mac

    I can open it in a text editor but it’s all gobbly-gook

    I download a program called db browser for SQLite. but when I try to open the file it is asking for a password/key

    as far as I can tell this is NOT an encrypted file.

    any ideas on how to recover some text from this DB backup?

    Once you have extracted the db.gz file, your add the extension .sql to the db file and open the file in text editor.

    It will contain the MySQL queries.

    Let us know if it works.

    Thanks,
