Step #01: First, stop all the Zabbix services and then backup the database.

mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix_new.* to zabbix_user@localhost identified by 'passw0rd';
mysql> flush privileges;
cd database/mysql
mysql -uzabbix_user -ppassw0rd zabbix_new < schema.sql
mysql -uzabbix_user -ppassw0rd zabbix_new < images.sql
mysql -uzabbix_user -ppassw0rd zabbix_new < data.sql
\q
