to restore and click on restore.

This is a very simple process.
We begin with the required settings.
As you can see, they are all set to yes.
if any are set to No you wont be able
to proceed and you need to speak to
your web hosts to rectify the errors.
We can now click Next.
If you are restoring
to the same database then you can just
click next.
If you are restoring to a new database
then you should enter the details here.
Click the button to contine
to the next step.
We now have the opportunity, if we wish,
to change the site name and the email address.
In most cases when you are restoring
a site you won't need to do this.
If we scroll down
here is also the opportunity to change the
password and email address of the Super Administrator.
Finally, click Next again.
We’re almost there.
Close this window to return to your web site
Click on the Finalise Restoration button
your site will have been restored to the previous version.

of your site will NOT
remove any files that
were added since the last backup.
