Sometimes phpMyAdmin doesn't work. Delete all tables in your database with phpMyAdmin then go to your terminal and cd to your geeklog/backup dir and execute this command:

mysql -u{user_name} -p -D {database_name} < {backup_file}

replacing {user_name}, {database_name}, and {backup_file}
with the correct values (do not include the curly brackets).
