export / import Db using phpmyadmin

[ttfan]

I've been using phpmyadmin to backup my database, as I'm making a lot of changes.

If I make a mistake and need to restore the database with an earlier version, I assume I need to use the 'import' function for the same database in phpmyadmin.

My question is, will this overwrite all the existing data and restore the database as it was before, or will it just insert the new database entries?

I noted that the recommended setting for the DB export is "insert".... don't know if that is relevant or not.

Thanks a lot!

If you follow the tutorial, you will set "drop" table so an import restorews it to what ever content exists in rhe backup
