Telnet to your server.
Make an empty database named 'forum'. cd to directory mysql file is in. The following assumes: Your mysql password is: XXXXXXXX Your empty database is named: forum The sql file you want to import is named: forum_bup.sql mysql --password=XXXXXXXX forum < forum_bup.sql

Yes Telnet/SSH is the way to go. My database backup is over 200 meg and once I put the backup on the server and execute the restore command then it takes about 15 seconds or less to restore.

Yup, and to backup it's the same, basically:
mysqldump --opt -c --password=XXXXXXXX -q -v forum > forum_bup-051106am.sql gzip -v forum_bup-051106am.sql Then FTP the ZIP file to another server. The key is to get a copy on another drive either within your server (RAID Level 1 - Mirroring) or on another server - Main cause of catestrophic, 'no warning' total data loss is drive failure.

Mine only runs about 300 megabytes - So I'm a little guy.... I have attachments outside the database so that's a secondary backup issue. But - a nightly FTP offsite backup of both attachments and the main forum database can be done with a server cron script. I run freebsd and it's pretty simple.

A backup in a different location. For example, my host is a server farm in Texas. I back up my database every night to my home computer which is 'off site'. If anything happens to them or their server farm, the most I would lose would be a day of posts on my forums.
