I am running into a time limit for PHP cron jobs on my hosting site that I can't increase. Half of my site storage is images (no surprise), so I split the backup using profiles into two: one with everything except images, the other with only images. The documentation was very helpful, and I had no problems.

My question is that if I have to restore a site, how do I do that? I have done this many times with kickstart, and it all works fine. But how do you do this with two backup files. Do you run kickstart twice and reference the second backup file in the second instance? Or what?

Thanks in advance.

You would use Kickstart to extract the image only backup, then use Kickstart to extract the no images backup, then run the installer. Kickstart just extracts the archive, the database tables are in the /installation folder with the restore scripts. You would extract twice and restore once.
