finally I am able to restore the data, but in a very weired way!
just like to share with you what I've done:

1) gunzip the data dump

2) edit the data dump to add 1 more field to table:
2.1) fud21_attach - add "fsize INT UNSIGNED NULL"
2.2) fud21_users  - add "cat_collapse_status TEXT"

3) install 2.2.3, then upgrade to 2.3.0

4) overwrite the WWW_ROOT_DISK and DATA_DIR with backup data (I did backup before the harddisk crashed)

5) perform the "import forum data" function

It seems that the MYSQL table structures are not consistent. I don't know the reasons behind, but as long as it works, who cares? (at least I don't care)

I've just upgraded to 2.3.5 and so far so good, except some minor problem when recompiling the Cantonese language. (I need to manually copy 'img' folder from the English language and need to add a lot of labels in 'msg' by comparing with that of the English language)

Anyway, it's a great lesson for me and maybe I need to seriously consider other ways of data backup/restore methods instead of just relying on the data dump/import functions.

Thanks

Kenneth
