 * seriously, after looking around for a good backup system for multisite for a 
   long time, I do think you have the best and simplest out there, great work!
 * I am wondering on your recommended approach in restoring a multisite though.
 * 1. so I have a backup which contains all files
    2. I have all subsites in the
   database as one sql file
 * What is the recommended approach to restoring to the backup on the same domain?
 * is it
    1. install wordpress (multisite) from scratch then restore from within
   the backup scheduler? 2. just copy the files for wordpress back and then in the
   database run the sql query to restore the database?
 * Cheers, and thanks again for your work on this superb plugin!

 * I assume that the option 2 is better/quicker, no ?

 * yeah that’s what I thought. just wanted to get some kind of validation from someone
   in case I’d missed or not considered something.
