I am a forum administrator. Our forum is mybb1.6.0. I have backup mybb database via mybb interface. But my restore can not be processed. I want to know how to restore mybb database correctly?

You have to restore your DB using phpMyAdmin from you CPanel, you can't restore a backup from your forum ACP.

Use this guide: http://wiki.mybb.com/index.php/Database_Restore

I would recommend updating to 1.6.3 - there are security and vulnerability fixes.

When I try to restore from mybb backup in phpmyadmin, I have this error and nothing happens:

#1050 - Table 'mybb_adminlog' already exists

Should I delete all tables before restoring?

^Yes, I drop all my db tables before restoring, otherwise it won't work.

Edit: Backup before doing this
