Restoring a Backup

[Daniel]

Hey,
I am in some desperate need of help. When I try to import my vbulletin.sql backup via phpmyadmin, it takes quite a while and eventually times out. How can I stop this?

I tried the impex system, and I was totally confused by it.

Any advice? Help? Want to do it for me? ;)

Thank you!

You'll need to do this using SSH or Telnet, get a client such as Putty, you will need shell access to the server to do this.

The host went crazy and shut us down, I only have the backup from the admincp. How would I do it from there?
