I have system and user backups and i know its not fix but can be temporary solution. For users there is restore in DA admin, but for system there is no restore option.

I followed this tutorial on how to restore from system backup
and this works, but since i dont know where and what is hacked i want to restore everything. System backup create folders and pack all files separately, In tutorial is explained how i can restore one of system files, and if i go by this tutorial i would need to restore every file separately. Is there any command that i can restore all files at once, or some faster sollution.

Thanks.
 
The notes in the knowledgebase are correct; you need to know what to restore and how to restore it. The tool is designed for advanced system administrators.

The last time we restored a system from sysbck, it took many hours. It was about four years ago so I don't remember exactly how many, but I remember I didn't sleep one night.

We can probably do it faster now, but it still takes some time.

One good note: if you're restoring back to the same server it's probably safe to restore all files, but you still need to think about what you're doing.

You can hire us to do it for you (I've got the experience), but we won't be cheap. If you'd like to discuss this with me, please use the email address below in my siglines.
