Restoring a back up database
rogerhc - November 8, 2009 - 21:10
I backed up my previous build of a drupal web site and created a new version from scratch using a newer version of Drupal. I would like to restore/copy the original database files into the newly created version. Any hints and tips as to how to go about doing this?

use your servers database tools. If you exported/backed up with phpmyadmin then use phpmyadmin to import the backup. Note that drupal holds all settings and such in the database. Thus a new site setup that imports the old database, is pretty close to the old setup again.
If you didn't use phpmyadmin to export your database you will need to be more forthcoming with reference to how the database was exported/backed up to begin with.
