1. Download winzip or any other software that can unzip .tar.gz compression

2. Unzip your full backup file to your local computer

3. Open directory "homedir". If there are no files inside it then just unzip "homedir.tar" to homedir location.

4. Open directory "public_html". It is located under "homedir" directory

5. Your files are all inside the public_html directory. Upload them using your favorite FTP software such as FileZilla
