The video tutorial is actually correct. Here's the quick outline of what you need to do:
- Download Kickstart from our site
- Extract it locally on your computer
- Upload the kickstart.php file to your site (typically that's the public_html or htdocs folder you see in FTP)
- Upload the backup archive files (.jpa and also any .j01, .j02, etc files if they exist) in the same folder you've uploaded Kickstart
- Access Kickstart through your browser, e.g. http://www.example.com/kickstart.php where http://www.example.com/ is the URL to your site.
- Click the big, green, Start button at the bottom of the page
- When the extraction is done click on Run the restoration script
- Follow the on-screen instructions
- When you're back to Kickstart's tab click on Clean Up
Please check the video tutorial for more details and visual context.
