- Down the containers
- Copy the backup of your library back in to `shared/cms/library`
- Copy the last automatic backup of the database (`shared/backup/db/latest.sql.gz`) in to `shared/backup`
- Uncompress `shared/backup/latest.sql.gz`
- Rename `shared/backup/latest.sql` to `shared/backup/import.sql`
- Rename `shared/db` to `shared/db-old`
- Up the containers

You’ll see it import your database backup and you should be restored at that point.

Assuming everything is OK, delete `shared/db-old`
