How to load a backup, if the site is fully offline/wrong

Good morning,

last time i changed anything on my homepage (to have a new contact form)

after i doing this, my homepage show me an error message and i cant open the /admin login. So i was complete out. our IT Service load a backup and it works again..

But i did a backup too, under “tools” - but how can i load this if the /admin area is also offline? :))

It should be in the /backup folder of your Grav root folder

@Hansfisch, In ./backup you will find a *.zip file. This file contains the entire site.

Run on the operating system, for example, the following command (Ubuntu):
$ unzip backup/default_site_backup--20250407170650.zip -d .
to restore the backup into the current directory.
