 * I am trying to restore a WordPress Blog backup to a new host. I had a plugin 
   which saved a complete backup to Dropbox on a regular basis. I am glad I had 
   this as I corrupted my blog when I tried to upgrade to the latest WordPress 3.5
   on my previous host.
 * I am having a problem trying to restore my Sql database to my new hosting service(
   Bluehost)
 * The plugin I used to create my backup is “Wordpress Backup to Dropbox”.
 * I have installed a clean WordPress (3.5) on my new host. Using Phpmyadmin I made
   sure my tables are all empty. Once I did that I try to import my Backup database
   file.
 * I get the following error message and I don’t know what to do to make it work.
   “
   MySQL said:
 * #1050 – Table ‘truewp_users’ already exists”
 * Hopefully someone will be able to point me in the right direction. Thank-you 
   in anticipation.
