 * Hi following your manual restoration guide, tar.php does not exist inside wp-
   content/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/restore/
 * When I run XCloner.php, I reveive the error AUTH_KEY not set. Inside that file
   on line 5: `define('AUTH_KEY', '');`.

 * That restore guide is for the older version of XCloner from the 3.x branch, for
   this one, you simply need to go to the XCloner Backend restore screen and follow
   the steps indicated there.
 * Since you’ve already uploaded xcloner_restore.php file on your new server, simply
   copy/paste that url you the restore box you will find in the original XCloner
   Restore Backups area
 * You can find a backup and restore process video here also [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9iWpPyG1EE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9iWpPyG1EE)
