Click the Restore button of the Backup that you want to restore.

Restore directory
The backup file includes the website files and the database, so leave it checked. 
If you want to restore only the database make sure that this box is not checked.
Delete existing files/folders
When you restore website files any existing files are overwritten. 
But what happens if there are new files on the live website that don’t exist in the backup?
By default, the new files are kept.
If in doubt, leave the box unchecked. 
However, if you are restoring a website because it has been compromised then you always want to enable this option.
Doing so ensures that any malicious files added since you made the backup are removed.
Restore database
When you restore the database any content changes are made since the backup data are lost.
You can exclude the database from the restore, and often it is fine to do so.
If you are restoring a website to fix an error then you may want to uncheck the restore database option.
There is a good chance that restoring only the website files solves the issue.
And if it doesn’t then you can always go back and restore the database.
Click the Restore Installation button.
