    I’m sorry about
   the accident 🙁
 * Please download the backup file then extract it and you will find the backup 
   database file there, the one with **.sql** extension
    (Of course, please make
   sure that you already include database backup before in the job setting, something
   like: [https://prnt.sc/w36mxe](https://prnt.sc/w36mxe) )

    sorry I’m not quite
   sure about your issue, you mean when you download the backup archive file from
   Dropbox, then extract, there is no SQL file?
 * Or you mean you can’t see the backup archive file on BackWPUp -> backups?
    Thanks!

 * Yes this is the first situation. When I check out the Dropbox file there is no
   sql file and therefore I cannot start the restore`.

    normally you can
   see the file in the archive file: [https://prnt.sc/wnief3](https://prnt.sc/wnief3)
   it’s ended with .SQL extension, of course, you should make sure you have enabled
   database backup before [https://prnt.sc/w36mxe](https://prnt.sc/w36mxe)
