Compatible Archive Software

The backup will be in a multi-part format. In order to uncompress it, you should put all the backup in the same folder and open the .zip file with Winzip.

You may experience some "corruption" error. It is mainly due that archive software are not compatible with multi-part archives. I have tried with success:

• Winzip (version 16.0 tested),
• WinRar (some issue with UTF8 characters), and
• IZArc (some issue with UTF8 characters).

NOT-Compatible Archive Software

These software are not compatible with multi-part archives:

• 7-zip, and
• the Windows Explorer embedded function.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you face some issues.

To restore the backups

• install a fresh version of WordPress on your server ;
• unzip the backup (actually, the zip file comprises a plurality of files i.e. a multi-part zip (zip, z01, z02, etc.). These files should be saved in a same folder and your zip program (such as IZArc, Winzip, Winrar, ...) will do the job for you...
• If you have configured to save the entire installation, replace all the wordpress files by the one in the zip file and import the SQL files (at the root of the zip file, the files named *.sql1, *sql2, etc.) in your database (with for instance phpmyadmin). It is recommended to save your database first ;
• In other cases, replace the 'plugins', 'themes', 'uploads' folders (in the wp-content folder) with the one in the archive, replace the wp-config.php (at the root of your wordpress repository) with the one at the root of the zip file and import the SQL files (at the root of the zip file, the files named *.sql1, *sql2, etc.) in your database (with for instance phpmyadmin). It is recommended to save your database first.

The backup files are corrupted

Be sure that all thz zip files (i.e. .zip, .z01, z02, etc.) are in the same folder. If you have still this issue, please try with Winzip software.
