The point of the plugin is to create a zip archive of all the files on your site, plus a standard mysql backup file of the wordpress mysql database, and copy them offsite in case the server/storage blows up. To restore, you just unzip the files, and import the database backup using standard mysql tools (like MySql Workbench). Like Dainiel said, once you have restored the files (in your new web root) and mysql database on your new host, you just need to edit the wp-config to point to the new database (new host, new user, password).
(If wp-content is directly accessible as yourdomain.com/wp-content/, then you’ll need to remove the “/site” from the beginning of those lines.)
Thank you Matt! This fixed it for me. Might be a good idea to point this out on the WordFence NGINX config instructions, for other noob/lazy people like me 🙂 I’m guessing most WP sites nowadays have it installed in the root.
