Import the database using a web-based mysql import script. The database is too big for phpmyadmin to handle on its own and will time out.
Well create a remote mysql user and connect it through command line. Run the dump command with "nohup" option so even if u get disconnected or some problem occurs u will be able to complete the import. But I am not sure how some one hacked your forum can u elaborate
One suggestion for me, is that even you do backup, he may again hack you, so first of all, make your forum with high security, keep image string. now a days, hacker are grown up. so better take good security, and one more thing mysql database shows timeout, because the file size is huge, that is the reason
this is offtopic: but what was the method vuln. for you phpbb3 ? i just wonder because some people who i know is using same phpbb3
have you checked your forum for vunerabilities?? ie sql injection, remote file inclusion phpbb3 forums only usually get hacked by lots of addons that you have installed or if it is on shared hosting then they may have paid for an account at the same host as you, uploaded a c99 shell and got you that way then got thier money back regards anywayz
