Oh ok! I get it now...well it appears that the version of PHP your using doesn't have ZIP compression enabled. Your going to need to head into your PHP.ini file and check some settings. You can find it in:

C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0\php.ini
(Install folder) (PHP Version)

Once you open that file, search for this line (or something similar to it):

;extension=php_zip.dll

Replace that line with this:

extension=php_zip.dll

That should enable ZIP compression and decompression in PHP and allow PhpMyAdmin to restore your backup DB.
