How to restore my site from scratch

    Hello,

    My site was big, and my UpdraftPlus backup saved on my Google Drive is 17 zip-files, up to 400 mb each. When trying to perform Restore, as advised on your site, I successfully retrieved Plugins, after that – Themes. But on Uploads the process got stuck for several days, and I deleted it. Do I need to manually download each of my 17 zips to my PC, unpack and than upload using FTP? But I don’t know the options how to unpack many different zips into one database. And the upload also may take days or weeks.
    Is there any way to speed up Uploads automatically? Or can you please advise something else?

    Thank you
    Yours
    Igor

    Hi,

    Yes, you can manually restore the uploads by extracting and uploading the files to “wp-content/uploads” folder.

    For the database, you can restore it using phpMyAdmin. See step 3 of our guide here.

    Thanks,

    Hello,
    I unpacked the folders
    But the problem is they are all now located in the root of my directory. I have plugins folder, themes folder, uploads folder etc.
    There is no hierarchy. There indeed should be wp-content folder, files like wp-config etc.
    How can I create the hierarchy?
    Or where can I see an example of such hierarchy to put the files manually?
    I found an import button at my provider’s side:
    https://mysqladmin.***.com/mysqladmin/server_import.php
    But there are options which I don’t understand
    If I try to import my db-zip as it is I get error

    Yours,
    Igor Ts.

    OK, the provider’s Escalated Support helped me to unpack and put in order everything. Now my site is working
    Thank you
