Re: how to restore my website backup
How you restore it depends on how you backed it up. What steps did you take to back it up?

i made full website backup via cpanel and its in linex extension
Re: how to restore my website backup
I'm not familiar with how cPanel backs things up, so I'm not sure on this one. Is the backup in the form of .sql files for the databases and a compressed copy of your directory structure and files?

yes it is
Re: how to restore my website backup
How large is the backup you're bringing over? It's it's not too big, then the majority can be done quite easily via FTP and phpMyAdmin.

To import the .sql file, you can install phpMyAdmin using the Autoinstallers page, then use its import function. To upload the files, extract them on your machine and then copy the folder to the webhosting through SFTP.
After you finish the import and file copying, you will need to edit the configuration of your site to point to the new database that you're using, and possibly to point to the new location of the files. Usually this is in a file called "config.php" or similar.
