Hi,

I need your help. I have wordpress website and I have reinstalled it from scratch. Now, I have uploaded my backup (maden with xcloner) in the right folder, but I don't understand what now I have to do. I don't need to transfer from a hosting to another hosting or similar, but I need simply to restore the backup of the entire site. How I do I do it?

Check here /wiki/index.php?title=Restore_Backup#Restore_Backup_.E2.80.93_Manually , the process is pretty simple and works the same for any online location.

In the X-cloner pdf Manual, it is not specified if I can restore my live messed up site to the same location overwriting the present files. Or do I have to delete the exisiting (messed up) files from my hosting server prior to restoring my site from an earlier backup?

Yes, you can restore to the same location, but it would be best to use an empy directory and an empty database!

OK Thanks for your quick reply! In that case, I have made the backup incl mysql and nodrop. Should it work after deleting the present site or would there need to be extra configurations to the database? Keep my fingers crossed 🙂

It should work without problems, make sure you check the "Add DROP Syntax" when generating the backup.
