That's it! Congratulations you did it! Now you have your Original Site copied in to your Test-Siterubix-Website.
Now very important since this was only a test and you don't want to have any troubles with double content (->Pageranking) either you delete everyfile or the complete Test-Website.
Important:Take care you are not deleting on your Original-Website like I did! Make sure your are in the right wordpress admin since you might still be logged in in your original site!
Question: Is it recommended to deactivate Adminer afterwords?
I read for another Importer Plugin (like Adminer is) that it's better to deactivate it after restoring from the backup. Don't know if that's the case here also.
Since this here is my first Tutorial/Training on WA I hope to have explained it well so it is for everybody understandable and it helps you to get closer to your success!
Should you still have some questions or need help feel free to ask me and I'll do my best to help you and if you like my first Tutorial and think it was helpful please click on the like button.

I tried it again with a new test site and I was aware that I was in the new site. The moment I logged out and tried to log back into the test site, I ran into the login problem again.
It could be that my original site is still active and causes wordpress some confusion?
Or check also the Url for the admin you try to log in should look likes this yourname.siterubix.com/wp-admin
I can't imagine that wordpress or your explorer would get confused since every Admin has its own Page like yourname.siterubix.com/wp-admin or yourwebsite.com/wp-admin
I don't know if this helps and is the problem you have?
But since this siterubix site is only to check, if the update has worked you can delete this site after you have seen that everything is as the original. Which I highly recommend for not having any troubles with double content!
Hope that helps, good luck
Useful to know as there was no response last time I posted a query about it.
I have had issues with BackWPUp not completing for the past few weeks so my last completed backup dates back to December. I left it for a while but since I have added hundreds of hours of content recently I thought it was worth another shot. That's when the site started crashing.
This was the error message I was getting:
"Already Installed
You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first."
This seemed to happen whenever I tried to run BackWPUp recently. I couldn't be sure if this was causing the problem so decided to try something else. I disabled BackWPUp and installed Updraft Plus.
First of all I have to say that UpdraftPlus looks a LOT easier to use, it backs everything up with one click and backups can be directed to Dropbox, Google Drive etc.
Second, there is a "Restore" button which of course I haven't had to use yet, but it's good to know it's there.
I think it is also worthy of mention that UpdraftPlus is also rated as one of THE best apps on WordPress and has higher ratings than BackWPUp.
However the most important thing is that UpdraftPlus also failed, but actually showed me an onscreen message which told me exactly why I had been having problems. It was related to a setting in wp-config which was related to WordPress cron, which was set to 'True' and should have been set to 'False'
I know very little about using FTP but very simple instructions on where to find the line of code using something like Filezilla and how to delete it (or set it to 'False')
Since I did that the UpdraftPlus backup completed successfully and the site appears to be working fine. Of course with the problematic line of code removed BackWPUp would probably work now too, but I think it's worth sticking with UpdraftPlus now simply because of the inclusion of a Restore button. This is a glaring omission on BackWPUp in my opinion.
