it’s not fully automatic
Assuming full backup:
– Download backup zip file
– extract sql file from zip file
– delete all mysql db tables in phpmyadmin (or whatever you got)
– import previously extracted sql file
– delete all files in wordpress directory (or move them to a temporary subfolder, just to be sure…)
– upload backup zip file
– extract backup zip file
voila 🙂
but maybe there’s an easier way. but actually, it’s really fast and personally i apreciate that the plugin is not overloaded with code to automatically restore.
Hey there @codepage thanks so much for helping answer this one! I’d say you can usually make the file backup part easier and simply replace the wp-content directory with the one from the backup, unless there are special directories and differences in your install. 😉
I need to update our own guide to make it a bit simpler but we do have one up – https://bwp.hmn.md/knowledge-base/how-to-restore-a-backup/ hopefully it helps a bit!
