phpMyAdmin restore

Hello,

I have a question about restoring a backup from phpMyAdmin.
I have successfully exported the database as a zipped file.

How do you upload the db file if your database goes down?
It hasn't happened, but I would like to be prepared.

click SQL and then i has the option to upload a zip file for sql statement which effectively backs you up..if memory serves me:)

phpMyAdmin doesn't die if your MySQL server is dead.. although it won't be able to connect.. Once it can connect, you can upload your backup.
