Answer 1

MySQLDumper worked like a charm for me at my hosted website. I had to copy one database and "paste" it into a new database. In MySQLDumper, it isn't apparent right away how to do this, but the key is to create a new configuration file in MySQLDumper and that will allow you to copy/restore to different databases.

On the home screen in MySQLDumper, click Configuration, then Configuration Files. There is a text box at the top allowing you to create a new Configuration file. In there, put in the information for the second database you need (you created a connection to the first database when you install MySQLDumper). Save it. Then you can click Restore where you can select the dump of the first database and restore it in the second one.

This was a lifesaver. Thanks!
