 * I’m currently looking into how to manually restore your wordpress database ([https://www.wpbackitup.com/documentation/restore/how-to-manually-restore-your-wordpress-database?utm_medium=plugin&utm_source=wp-backitup&utm_campaign=lite&utm_content=backup&utm_term=manual+restore](https://www.wpbackitup.com/documentation/restore/how-to-manually-restore-your-wordpress-database?utm_medium=plugin&utm_source=wp-backitup&utm_campaign=lite&utm_content=backup&utm_term=manual+restore))
   and can’t seem to get past the second step. I don’t know if I’m totally missing
   something, but I saved all of the backup files to my computer, yet I can’t seem
   to locate this “db-backup.sql”. Could it possibly be titled something different?
   Is there somewhere else I should be looking? I’d like to get this restoration
   aspect understood before I make any further changes within my site–so any feedback
   would be appreciated. Thanks!

 * LMcLaughlin90,
    We have made some updates since I published that post so we are
   a little behind on documentation, my apologies. All the SQL files are contained
   in the zip file with -main- in the name. We also now store the database export
   into multiple files but you can import them all the same way that I outline in
   the post. You will also notice a number on the end of each sql file so make sure
   to import them in the correct sequence so 0 first and then 10 next etc. You may
   only have files with a 0 suffix and if that is the case, the order will not matter.
 * Let us know how it goes and feel free to open up a support ticket via [http://www.wpbackitup.com](http://www.wpbackitup.com)
   if you run into trouble.
 * Thanks
    Chris
