I setup a new database through the same ISP (1&1). It just doesn't have any data in it yet. I thought that the order of events was to create the database, path it, and import my data from a backup of my live site.

I already have the backup of my data from my live site, now how should I go about importing that into my new TEST database?

Thanks!

I'm guessing that this is the answer to my question: Restoring the Database via phpMyAdmin.

I'm currently trying to do this, but having problems. I'm going to contact my ISP for support.

I would still be interested in hearing people's reasons for prefering either online or local Test sites vrs. the other.

Bazzup, thanks for the info on Uniform Server. After I get this work online (if I can), I'm going to look into that for local presentations of the software. It definately appears to be a simple and low load solution!

Thanks again for everyones help!
