    Could someone please explain to me how to get this done? :)

    The db is from here on DP. [click here to see thread].

    Hi,

    You can restore the database from PHPMyAdmin or other tool which you are using to manage MySQL database. If the size of the database is larger then you will need to restore it from SSH. You can use the below command to restore it:

    mysql -udbusername -pdbpassword databasename < path to backup file

    The file is 55mb, and what happens if you dont have SSH access?

    You can provide the backup of your database to your hosting provider. They should restore it on your behalf.
