My site was updated from backup, to a state of a month and a half ago. All questions and answers since then have been deleted.
I have an up-to-date backup of the TAR file.
You wanted to know if I could extract a file from there with the questions and paste on the new server, or is it more complex?
Thanks!

Thanks for the full details.
I know how to restore backup.
That’s not my question.
My question is whether you can take a folder or file from the backup, and replace it with an existing file, thus updating the Q & A.

At the moment, you can not "take a folder or file from the backup, and replace it with an existing file" as you mentioned here.
