Answer 1

If you made a backup of your database then restore it to your current installation as

mysql -u root -p NameOfDatabase < saved-database.sql

or if you prefer to do that over web interface you can do that with help of

http://localhost/phpmyadmin

where you need to create first database with the same name it was previously and upload backup
