Import from BackUpWordPress Plugin’s backup files

One way to do it would be to install a local copy of WordPress and restore the backup there.

Installing WordPress Locally

But what type of file is this backup-file? I’ve tried to put .zip or .rar endings, but the file couldn’t be opened.

What’s it look like in a text editor?

Text editors

css, php, and a lot of not portrayable signs

Okay so installed Plugin, did backup and the backup got put into a gz zip file. The gz file contained a wordpress.sql file that you could test via a phpMyAdmin import.

Might want to look for 7-zip program to uncompress that file.

Thanks for help!
