The database in question is ~8GB.
Is there a better method?
Thanks for assistance

If SSH won''t work then give bigdump or mysqldumer a try. They both handle large files with ease.
Otherwise try to split up the backup file and import it piece by piece. I have done it several times and it has worked fine as well.
