How to Restore (Import) Your MySQL Database from a Backup

You can easily manage and restore your MySQL databases online using the phpMyAdmin tool, which is fully integrated into your WebHost4Life Control Panel. This tool allows you to access, export, and import databases quickly and securely.

To access phpMyAdmin:

  2. Locate your database in the list and click on the phpMyAdmin icon next to it.

A new window will open with the phpMyAdmin home screen. In the left-hand frame, click on your database name to select it.

In the top-right frame, you will see several icons. Click on the SQL icon (the second one) to open the query window.

To import your database backup (dump file):

  1. Click on the Import Files tab in the query window.
  2. Press the Choose… button and select the backup file from your local computer.
