You now have two options. You can either restore into the current course or into another course of yours. Let's start with Restore into this course. Be very careful at this stage. If you already have content in your current course that you don't want to lose, be sure to select Merge the backup course into this course. Otherwise, you will delete everything that you already have. Click on the Continue button.

Similarly, if you want to restore the backup into another course, you need to be careful not to overwrite any existing content. Select Merge the backup course into the existing course unless you are sure you want to start fresh. You can select one of your courses from the list. If you don't see the one you want, you can use the Search courses box to find and select the one you want.
