Hi Peter, I was able to locate a .bz2 in my version 1.2.2 backup folder and I uncompressed it to get the .xml file inside it. I was able to import this xml file into version 2.0, but now it says that I have "missing media." What files should I copy from the version 1.2.2 folder into the version 2.0 folder?
Thank you very much for your help!
