    I have a wordpress blog. I have downloaded a backup file from my cPanel. But I don't know how to use this backup file . If I face any problem on my server, and I need to delete all the uploaded files then how can I restore this backup file on my server?
    Please guide me on this point.
    Thanks:)

    hello,to restore your website,
    1. Download your files from /www directory first.
    2. Download your database from PHPMyadmin.
    3. When you need to restore in same domain - upload all files in root directory
    4. go to database section, create a new database,username and password. give privilege to that user in that databse. Go to root and edit config.php with databse info.
    5. Go to phpmyadmin,click on that databse which you have just created,import databse and bang !!

    Let me know if you need more help.

    You can do it through the CPenal of your hosting account ..... one another option is go to your database and take the backup of your database... and use ftp for the backup of your files.....
