Don’t know how to reset directories.I frequently restore the database but never restore the files afraid something wrong will happened.
Add New…a window popup with the possibilities to drag your own files to the media or select a file from your directory.But then you get an error message saying that its not possible to moved files to wp-content/uploads?
My provider give me a solution to install a plugin(add from server) but was not happy with the solutions.You have to copied your files to wp-content/uploads with filezilla then you have to upload using the plugin into the media…it works but its a lot of work.
