you can use software like winscp to upload your file to the /backup dir.

i tried via another software ftp but there were not any directory /backup
i logged in to ftp same password vesta offer for user admin but i can find temp web folders there and other in /web/mydomain/public_html i cannot see /backup anywhere

Upload your backups to /backup or /home/backup. You can also try to upload as root user.

see i installed vesta from putty, the i logged in via ftp.mudomain.com
user 'admin' and password

then i see folders temp,web, and two others i opend all folders one by one i cannot find /backup anywhere

from root i don't know how to login ftp how can i upload thats what making it hard for me
i'm surr it will be in same dir where vesta is installed thats what making mess because if there is /backup folder there should be my current backup files so i can add old one but i cant find /backup dir

When you login as admin you start directory is your home directory (/home/admin) You need to change your location to /backup or /home/backup.

Maybe you need to learn more about the linux directory structure. http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/09/lin ... structure/

As "tjebbeke" told you if there is backup restore error why you not unzip your tar files and upload manually using winscp after creating same domain, if there is database file you can use phpmyadmin to restore it.
