This is a quick example of how to restore an example directory: /var/www on your server.

Create a file backup for /var/www (as an example).

Go to your backup page, then select the "Logs" tab. Afterwards, click the little "( i )" on the right next to the copy you want to download.

Under the backup restore section on the modal that just popped up, you will find a section called "Restore command", this is a single-line command that allows you to restore your backup on your server (or VPS). Copy it.

On your server, run the previous command and follow the wizard which will ask you where you want to extract your backup, and ask you for the encryption key if that backup was encrypted.

Under the backup restore section on the modal that just popped up, click on "Click to generate a signed download link" then copy the resulting link

On your server, run the following command, and use the signed download link you obtained in the previous step (ensure you enclose it in double quotes as shown):
