Adam,

Backup recovery is covered in the Reference Manual Sect 6.2.2.

Basically, you use mysql command line client to run the backup sql file.

shell> mysql -u<user> -p<password> < <backupfile>

Example for user root, password is password, file is backup.sql

mysql -uroot -ppassword < backup.sql

If you have the user name and the password stored in the [client] section of the my.ini file, you don't need them here.

Storing the user and password in the ini file is not recommended.

See the Reference manual for full details.

Good Luck.
Barry.
