 * Hello,
    May be I’m asking the most silly question you’ve ever heard, but… When
   I download a backup from UpDraft Plus I get a .zip file in my downloads folder.
   What have I to make with that file? If I extract it, I get a lot of folders. 
   Which one is the right one to upload to the FTP server? If I go there, I can 
   see a folder with my site’s name and all the folders and files like wp-content,
   functions.php and so on… But I can’t see any of them into the unzipped files 
   and folders. Excuse me but, as you’ll see, I’m very lost in this matter. I just
   want to restore an older version of my site. Regards.
