MySQL Administrator method:
If installed, follow the Windows MySQL Administrator guide. MySQL Administrator works the almost identically on both Linux and Windows.
Restoring databases
If you are using MySQL Administrator, visit the Windows guide Restoring databases. There is no need to worry there, MySQL Administrator sports the same look on Linux.
There is no obvious button to press on Webmin. Restoration is actually done by running the backup script following the method described in Creating Athena and ROCP databases. As a recap, click on the target database to call up Edit Database page, select Execute SQL, point it to the backup script.
The same technique is used to port (migrate) databases from one host to another.
