What is the correct method to: Upload or Restore the Backup/Clone to a New domain?

I've read the instruction manual, however, it is a bit confusing for the Backup/Clone/Install process I'd like to achieve.

What is the correct process for the following:

1.  Backup & Clone Site A on domain 1 to be Uploaded & Restored to Site B on domain 2 (example: Transfer Site1.com => Site2.com)

Goal:

1.  To be able to "upload & restore" the backup from the "computer" to the new domain which has the base vanilla wordpress install on the new domain.

Problem:

1. I have been able to successfully backup the full site files for a wordpress site. Now, I need to upload those files to a new wordpress install on a new domain. 

2. Uploaded the TAR file to the administrator/backup folder to the new site.  Tried to restore via FTP - did not work.

 

Can you help on this issue?

Hi Darrin, please check this Restore wiki /wiki/index.php/Restore_Backup#Restore_Backup_.E2.80.93_Manually , it should help! Can you post any screenshots you have available with the errors when restoring?

Have you tried checking the "Install files directly" option when restoring?
