When you go to your database in question, at the top, click Export; under options to the right, you will see "Structure," under Structure, click the ADD Drop TABLE . . ., then scroll to the bottom and you will see "Save File" and check it. Lastly hit the go button, and a save file window should pop up; save it to your desktop. Use an html editor or notepad to only view it. Look at the first table and make sure that there is a DROP table command followed by a CREATE table command. It that checks out, then your SQL dump was successful.

Let me know if you need up with anything if it does not turn out the way you were hoping. You should get your site up and running first before trying to upload some of the tables from your backup. I will be back online later this evening. Just PM me.

Wow, that is a hassle trying to reinstall deleted core tables.

Next time, you can disable JFusion by clicking on the 'disable plugins" in the JFusion component cpanel. Or if you uninstall the jFusion component (through the Joomla install/uninstall menu), jfusion will automatically disable its plugins and re-enable the default Joomla plugins.

You probably know by now that you should never start deleting tables or files manually to remove programs.

Thanks, Marius
JFusion is a revolutionary new universal user integration tool for Joomla. Visit http://www.jfusion.org for more details.

OMG. I'm having the same issue. blooink, were you able to get your site back up and running?
I was trying to install webJobs, and they didn't provide any support, in fact, they hung up on me in the middle of a conversation (live chat) because it was time for them to go home for the day. So I tried to continue, but it broke the site and I saw the same error when trying to log in. The frontend looks fine, but the login is broken. Any luck??? (so much for commercial extensions - sticking with free ones from now on!!!)
