❗ Important:

If you enter /home/jansen/domains in the second field, the backup will be restored to /home/jansen/domains/domains.
Always double-check the correct restore location carefully.

After filling in the fields, click the orange Restore button.

In the first field, select: Which database would you like to restore?
In the second field, enter: Into which database would you like to restore it?

You can track the progress under Task Queue.
Once completed, you will find the restored folder(s), files, or database at the specified location.
