See if your host will temporarily allow you an additional database.
Either way, you should try restoring your database to a new database name and see if it restores without issues. If you have a PC running linux and mysql available to you, that will suffice. From a command line:
mysql -uuser -ppassword -Dnewdb <backup.sql
The items in italics would represent your credentials, the new database name, and your backup filename.
If the database restores without errors, then you know the status of your database backup.
