Hi id242, yes it seems large to me, about 150 MB.

If you have command line or shell access to your server, this should work:

/path-to/mysql/bin/mysql -f -u <dbusername> -p <password> <forumdb> < /path-to/forumbackup.sql

(remove the < and > around the username, pwd, db)

I've used that to restore a 750MB db and it takes a couple of minutes but works fine.

Someone please correct me if there's a better way.

ask the hosting company to do it for you is another alternative for large databases.
