Restore Files Only Without Client

[BobParticipant]

I’d like to be able to restore the files–without the database–from an UpdraftPlus backup on my Mac without using the UpdraftPlus client. I can expand the .zip files, but then I run into the time-consuming process of merging directories where a directory was split into several .zip files during the backup. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi Bob,

Use the unzip tool from the command line. If you’ve got a load of uploads zip files in the same directory as you’re in, you just do this:

for i in backup_*uploads*zip; do unzip $i; done
