Description of my issue:
I would like to restore an independent database used by my joomla site and backed up with Akeeba Backup. I've unpacked the .jpa file. I noticed the files are split,
712FCFCF-databasename.s01 ~ .s54 and another file, 712FCFCF-databasename.sql.
I only want to restore this database, not the entire site nor the joomla database. How do I combine these files into something I can upload via phpmyadmin?
thx, JR

Hi JR,

Hm, the easy way is to search for "file join software". Use one of them to join the .s01 to .s54 files. Since they are numerically ordered it shouldn't be a problem. Then join the .sql with the joined file, so that the .sql is first and everything else followed in the file. You can now edit the one, big file as per the documentation instructions.

IMPORTANT: Since you have 55 files, your resulting file will be almost 30Mb big. phpMyAdmin can not import such a big file. Maybe it's a good idea to join 4-6 files at a time, edit them, restore them and repeat the process until you've restored all files. The restoration order should be .sql, .s01, .s02, ...., .s54.
