basicly you need to copy the directory of where you want to restore the databases.
Example of how the directory would look if you restore the database in the same folder:
C:\MuServer\DB\MuOnline_Data.MDF
and for Logs database (or anywhere / default location)
C:\MuServer\DB\MuOnline_Log.LDF, so basically in ur files folder so u can see the logs size.
Tick the Force Restore over existing database and press OK to Restore!

FAQ
If you have Windows Vista 7/8/10 Run everything as Administrator to avoid compatibility issues
Make sure you ask help in MU Help section and re-check video tutorials and learn!
You might require .Net Framework 3.5 /4.0 and all visual c++ in order to be able to run some apps
For IP Configurations ConnectServer/MapServerInfo etc don't remove the quotes between the IP's.
You will probably need to have installed Visual C++ Redistrutables to run some apps
Open Ports 44405/55901/55919 or on other files 44405,56901-56919, 55999 for MHP & 80(Web) in TCP in order for players to connect (Tutorial)
Do open ports manually from FIREWALL if you have vps and modem through router panel.
