Restore from downloaded backups

How do you restore from a downloaded backup after doing a full system wipe and rebuild? I did do exports so that worked for restoring & my system is up and running again. Just wondering how to get the downloaded backups, back.

There are two ways: 1) Transfer the backup to the system, rename to ~/Mycodo, run the setup.sh script, or 2) copy to the backup directory and run a backup restoration from the UI. It is not a recommended way to move a system from one computer to another. This is why the settings export/import system was created, which can all be done with a single click. Backups allow you to easily restore a previously-backed up system via the backup/restore page. Downloading a backup is for advanced users who know how to handle backups outside the software environment.
