Download backup files

cd /tmp
wget [DATABASE BACKUP FILE URL]
wget [FILES BACKUP FILE URL]

Suppose your backup files are downloaded at /tmp

gunzip [DATABASE BACKUP FILE.sql.gz]
tar xvf [FILES BACKUP.tar]

Go to your ERPNext installation folder
When restoring from database, the 'Administrator' user password gets reset to 'admin'. To set a better password when restoring, set admin_password variable in conf.py to the desired 'Administrator' user password.
Restore database using:

lib/wnf.py --install [DATABASE NAME] /tmp/[DATABASE BACKUP FILE.sql]

Copy extracted files

cp /tmp/[FILES BACKUP EXTRACTED FOLDER/---/public/files/*] [YOUR ERPNEXT INSTALLATION]/public/files/
