Recovering old pages from backup
I backed up my wiki and would like to recover some of those pages.
In the .zip file, there are .html and .txt files. When I upload either type of file, it is just that -- a file, NOT a wiki page. I thought maybe I could trick PBwiki if I renamed the file -- from "foo.html" or "foo.txt" to just "foo" -- no luck!
I have several pages that I would like to recover -- how can I do this?

I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?If I had to do this, I would create a new page in my wiki and copy the information out of my backup files. The text file will open in a tool like Windows Notepad. The HTML file will open up in a web browser. Between those two sources, you should have what you need to copy and paste into a new page.

Is there another way? I have about 20 pages that I'd like to recover, which makes copy/paste a hassle but doable. To recover more than a few pages, this would be cumbersome. -
Inappropriate?In cases of a disaster, (entire wiki gone!) we do offer to reupload the backup for you. In cases where only a few pages are involved, you will have to do it yourself. 20 pages is not a disaster in my opinion. I'm sorry if you are disappointed.
