Restoring SQL Backup

Try via PHPMyAdmin ;)

Yeh I can figure out how to restore it through phpmyadmin?

Do you know how?

Look at the top of the phpMyAdmin page -> "Import"
;)

Yeh thanks for the help guys that fixed it.

thats a great news helped of yourself:)

Kind of funny that this thread came up. I have had som problems with this myself. My site often times out when restoring a backup file from my sites backup-system. Which leaves me with the phpmyadmin. When I did import my site-backup using php-myadmin, the result lost all åäö which are kind of important characters in the Swedish alphabet ;)

Is there some way to fix this? I understand you guys don´t use åäö but maybe you know of some option to change when restoring using php-myadmin. What I did was that I used php-myadmin to restore a backup created from my site. I guess php-myadmin speaks a different language from what the backup-system in my site speaks?

If I restore a backup made with my site I can restore it fine. If I use a backup from my site using php-myadmin I lose the above characters. If I try restoring a *.sql.gz backup created in php-myadmin, from restore on my site, I get a message such as "wrong file format".

I don´t understand.
