You will have to tell us the problem first...

How about you tell me the problem you are having?

The only reliable method of backing up and restoring a database is with shell access via telnet or ssh. This is because backing up with a PHP script like that in the Admin CP or phpMyAdmin can result in PHP timeouts errors and an incomplete backup file. Please see the instructions here:

Restore:

P.S. If you don't have shell access, some people have also reported success with these scripts:

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
