Hello, Thank you for your question on restoring a large database backup. You can attempt to bypass the 50MB limit for shared servers by installing your own phpMyAdmin instance. We have an article that explains that here. Also, you can FTP the file up to your account and then have our Support Team restore it for you. Kindest Regards, Scott M
