How to use the Backup of WP??

    I messed up with my DP, and luckily, I have made a backup using a backup plugin in WP. But now the problem is, how can I use this backup file, and restore my blog?

    Thanks in advance.

    well to import all your databases, just go to manage>import and choose wordpress. Import the WXR file and you're done. This will import all your comments, posts, etc.
    If you messed up with your design too, then you should just upload it back to your server (considering you have a backup of it).
    Hope that helps.

    as far as i know the import feature doesnt import settings so bear this in mind when using it. It's recommended to backup the posts and users using the wordpress export feature and also back up from phpmyadmin (or whatever database admin panel you use)

    Just restore your site through PHP ADMIN interface OR through Cpanel Backup wizard. Its really easy :)

    wp-admin is a default directory. No problem to take it from a fresh install and put it on your site if you havent seriously modified it.
