    There should be some information located here that includes references to using phpMyAdmin to restore a database: Restoring Your Database From Backup

    Are you moving servers?

    Assuming your entire directory structure is intact (uploads, blogs.dir. etc) the above will work IF you fix the directory path and url structure first.

    In the database, there are records that reference the url. If you didn’t change url’s, no problem.

    Also in the database there are directory paths that are server specific. You will need to look at those.

    Open (a copy of) your sql file in a text editor, and search for both items… then you can import.
