 * The daily backup that I need to restore has 18 files. How do I know which one(
   s) are specific to the database?
 * Or do I need to restore one at a time, selecting the database option?

 * You will only have one DB file (it is not split into multiple files like the 
   rest of the backup). The files name will end in db.gz

 * The list of backups located at Settings / UpDraftPlus Backups / Backup/Restore
   do not include the names of the files.
 * When I select one to restore, the next window also does not display the file 
   name.

 * When you restore via the UpdraftPlus interface, click “Restore” next to the backup
   and you should then be able to select/deselect the component that you want to
