Hi, total n00b here so please bear with me. By trade I'm a marketer, not a developer.
A friend recently had to shut down his website and so made a full backup via cPanel's backup wizard. He built the site in Wordpress (.org) and I'm helping him build the site back up from a content point of view, but he's stuck on loading the old database, which I can then load into WP and rebrand etc.
I've got a 3gig tar file and I'm trying to figure out how to restore the backup in cPanel. Uploading via the 'restore' function leads me to a 'Restoring Database' page that just hangs (I gave it a good 20+ mins). I'm convinced there must be another piece of the jigsaw that is missing. I don't seem to have access to WHM, will that help me?
