Restoring a database from a backup in MariaDB involves several steps. Here is how to do it:
1. Log in to MariaDB from the command line. Here is an example where “root” is the login name:
\`\`\` mysql -u root -p \`\`\`1. Next, you will be asked to provide your password. After that, you will be taken to the MariaDB command prompt.
1. At the MariaDB command prompt, choose the database you want to restore the backup to. If the database does not exist, create it using the following command (replace “yourdatabase” with the name of your database):
\`\`\` CREATE DATABASE yourdatabase; \`\`\` Then select it with: \`\`\` USE yourdatabase; \`\`\`1. Now you can restore your database from the backup. Assuming you have a backup named “backup.sql”, you would type:
\`\`\` SOURCE backup.sql; \`\`\` Make sure your backup.sql file is in the directory from which you logged in to MariaDB, or provide a full path to the file.1. After the command executes, your database will be restored from the backup.
1. Finally, you can quit MariaDB by typing:
\`\`\` EXIT; \`\`\`
