    I have looked on wordpress codex about restoring your backup database, but i am not able to do this task, for this i have some questions to ask:

    Do we need to replace old database, or delete old database before restoring new database?
    suppose current database name is download_movie and my backup database have name phoenix_md, what should i do?

    How are you restoring your database - with phpMyAdmin or using MySql commands? Actually in either case, what you are doing is importing your backed up database into your current database so there's no replacing or deleting. In your example, you would open the database download_movie and import the database phoenix_md into it.

    Also have to check your new wp-config if the database name matches.
