Question How do I restore my Composr website from a backup?
Answer Composr backups come as .tar or .tar.gz files. Extract the archive using an extraction program like 7-zip or your web hosting control panel.

To restore a full backup:
  • Upload the extracted files to your webserver, overwriting the existing files.
  • Run the included restore.php script in your browser. This script will restore the database from the restore_data.php file.

To restore incremental backups:
  • Restore the initial full backup.
  • Sequentially extract and overwrite files from each incremental backup over the restored full backup.
  • The last extracted restore_data.php will contain the latest database state. Run restore.php to restore the final database version.
