I'd like to use one of the eMods tools (not sure which one) to restore a copy of my database that I exported using phpAdmin. How do I do this and will it restore my board? I haven't been able to use Bigdump as it first tells me that it can't create the database b/c it already exists. If I delete zaccaria_forum from my server and try to import it using Bigdump, it gives me an "access denied" message. Help!
Can you try restoring it through phpmyadmin? Just click "SQL" and copy/paste the sql text into the textarea.
I haven't actually tried importing databases through the module that were exported from phpMyAdmin, however it may work, if the archive is GZIP or Plain MySQL.

You could try uploading the archive to admin/eMods/dbarc and see if it imports correctly, but as I said I haven't tested this before so cannot be certain whether or not it will work.
