 * Hi,
 * What options do I select in restore if I only want to restore pages and posts?(
   ie., database, plugins, themes, uploads,others). Also, I changed files from a
   subdirectory to root directory after last backup, will this create any issues?
 * Thanks

 * Hi ATLWPdude,
 * UpdraftPlus is really for recovering your entire site. To recover less than that,
   you’d have to open up the database backup manually, and delete the bits you don’t
   want by hand (e.g. probably in this case the tables other than the posts/postmeta–
   but that’s off the top of my head).
 * > Also, I changed files from a subdirectory to root directory after last backup,

 * The answer is probably “no, it’ll be fine”, as UpdraftPlus takes various steps
   to cope with all the different tweaks that can be made to a WordPress installation
   of this kind – but if you want to be extra sure, then if you explain a bit more
   I can be more specific.
