Recovering from a crash

[Curmudgeon]

I screwed up while trying to move forum, couldn't recover old forum/site. Have the forum (new install) up on a new host. Wanting to merge the full sql backup I did prior to crashing the forum.

>> Running the same version of phpBB3 as before: 3.0.12
>> Environment: cPanel-2.2.31, Apache-2.2.31, PHP-5.6.27, MySQL-5.6.32, Perl-5.10.1

Tried to use phpMyAdmin but it only wants a file =/< 50Mb. My backup is ~335Mb.

Any suggestions how how to merge the old and new. The new only has 1 forum and it is a unique name as I read in some conditions duplicate names could cause issues.

Thanks for the assist.

The tool phpMyAdmin is not usable for importing large database back-ups, try Bigdump.

the new one won't matter since it will all be removed and replaced by the import of the old.

if that won't work, then you can use other means:

or
mysqldumper
