The Import/Restore section of the WebToffee WP Backup and Migration pro plugin is specifically for importing the data via Quick Migration and for restoring the recent backups if needed.
Restore
All your recent backups will be listed here. You can either restore or delete the backup.
Restoring the backups will overwrite all files in the system, including existing backups.
This action will take you to the system state.
Do not restore unless you are sure about what you are doing.

Trying to restore a zipped file that the current host sent us. It seems to upload to the site fine using your plugin but when I click import as instructed the plugin says there was an error but does not specify what the error is. I have increased file upload size and still have the same issue. Can you help?
