Using the backup with a differnet database

Hopefully this is an easy fix, but here is my issue....
I have a full backup made of my site (Database and all) using your backup software, I want to make a test site with this backup so I can test things without affecting my live site. When I uploaded all the backed up files to my test site's folder on my hosting server, everything worked fine, except I noticed that the database was setup to use my live sites still! I luckly caught this before I did any damage...

Is there an easy way to correct this?? I still want the information that is stored in the backed up database file, but I want it to use my test sites database, not my live sites.

Any help would be appericated.

Thanks,

Please check this backup and restore manual http://www.joomlaplu.....cloner.pdf , it should explain in easy steps the correct restore process which involves a restore script which we provide

Let me know if you have further issues! Regards, Ovidiu
