You attempted to load file with unsupported compression (application/zip). Either support for it is not implemented or disabled by your configuration.

i advice you to zip this file to reduce its size .
2. Open Your FTP program and upload this file to _db_backups you can find this folder on the root .
3. Now Login To Hosting Control Center for your site
- Go to Content -> File Manager then to _db_backups directory you will find the zip file you upload using ftp
- unarchive this file you will get the file mydatabase.sql
- Go the the Databases > MySQL tab and find the appropriate database (
mydatabase
). - Click on Actions on your database you want to import this file to (“Details , Backup ,Restore “) .
- Then in Restore Backup Screen Select the file you upload before to _db_backups folder mydatabase.sql
