In this video, I go through the process of restoring a WordPress site to Local using the All-In-One WP Migration plugin. I was able to do this because I had installed the All-in-One WP Migration plugin on my site when I had it up and running. I used the export feature, and the option to export files, to export the backup.
I then start with a fresh install of Local that didn't have any sites set up. You could just as easily started a brand new site alongside your main site, but in my case I was using a new Local installation. When you spin up a new site you will want to log into the dashboard of the WordPress site and install the All-in-One WP Migration plugin. Then activate the plugin and do an import to grab the file that you had previously exported. Once the import is completed you will be back to where you were with your original site.
