    Hi 🙂

    I try UpDraftPlus and wonder how I can use the “Database”, “Plugins”, “Themes”, “Uploads” and “Others” zips that I backed up and downloaded to my Mac. Can I use those zips to build up the Site locally or on another server?
    If I can, then how?

    Kind Regards

    Hi,

    Yes, you can use the backup to restore/migrate. Please check our guide here: https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-do-i-migrate-to-a-new-site-location/

    Thanks,

    Hi again 🙂

    First I did a backup on the source site and then I downloaded the zips “Database”, “Plugins”, “Themes”, “Uploads” and “Others” locally to my Mac.

    See «attachment/picture» «existing-backups.gif» here: https://www.storoien-fluefiske.no/z_tatt_ut/existing-backups.gif

    Then I installed a new fresh WordPress site on my Mac and installed UpDraftPlus there.

    Then it says in the video that I should chose the same storage location that I did one the source site but I can not find any choice to find my backups/zips that I downloaded locally to my Mac.

    I must misunderstand something here 😏

    Hi Tom,

    You can upload the backup files directly to your local WP install. You should see an “Upload files” link in the “Backup / Restore” tab or just above the backup list.
