How does that work exactly – the manual without the screenshots is not very helpful here?
I don't know much about this kind of stuff, how do I import a database manually? I thought that the database has to created fresh during the install, using the MySQL database created fresh in MySQL? Bear in mind that I have deleted the old MySQL database in my CPanel in order to create a new one for a fresh install.

Please check out restore wiki here /wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page , it shoud help and include the screenshots as well.
To import the database manually, check here https://my.bluehost......i/help/256 , it should help!
We also provide a Premium Support service where you can open a support ticket to help you with the restore.
Kind Regards, Ovidiu

Thanks for the link to the Wiki.
The help section at Bluehost says I need to upload the sql from my PC.
I do not quite understand how – does the backup file I generated with XCloner contain the MySQL database as well? I searched the unpacked backup file and found 65 files with .sql extension - are those all the files I would have to import manually?
And what about the other option – setting up a fresh empty Joomla install on the site, installing XCloner and then restore the site from within Joomla – would this work?
I do not have a problem with paying for premium support – actually if someone were able to walk me through the process or do it for me, I'd be happy to pay for the work.

XCloner creates only one database backup file, that is in the administrator/backups/database-sql.sql file
As for the other option, you don't need to preinstall Joomla, you only need the backup archive and XCloner restore script.
