    You might come across a disc image in the BIN/CUE format. BIN/CUE files can be directly burned to CD via K3B, however if you want to convert to an iso, a command line application called bchunk can be used.

    # yum --enablerepo=extras install bchunk
    # bchunk image.bin image.cue image.iso

    Package mpack is required in order to extract the backup contents.

    # apt-get install mpack
    # zcat /path/to/backup_file > backup_file.mime
    # munpack backup_file.mime

    The result is a set of tar and sql files that contain domains’ directories and databases. Untar the directory as needed.

    For example, to restore the httpdocs folder for the DOMAIN.TLD domain:

    # tar xvf <DOMAIN.TLD>.htdocs
