# Restoring Clientexec using phpMyAdmin

If you have chosen to backup the data and structure of your database, please follow the instructions below. If you have not re-created the database, do so now. If your database is created, dropping the pre-existing tables, if they exist, is preferred. This will remove any data and tables in the existing database.

1. Log into your PhpMyadmin and select your database you either just created. This database might be pre-existing if you just dropped the tables in an existing database.
2. Click the SQL tab up top.
3. Click the Browse button towards the bottom of the page.
4. Browse to find your backup .sql file or the file you generated backing up previously.
5. Click Go.

It will then upload your backup file, and create all tables, and import all data into mentioned tables to completely restore your database to a previous state.

We recommend backing up your database frequently.
