Steps to restore drupal site with the backup and migrate module:

One quick note, the same version of the backup and migrate module used to create the backup file must be used when performing the restore.

  1. Create new database.
  2. Put a clean copy of settings.php file in sites/all/sitename.com directory.
  3. Install Drupal by going to sitename.com and following the prompts.
  4. Enable the backup and migrate module (Administer > Site building > Modules).
  5. Locate the file to restore.  (Content management > Backup > Destinations tab > list files link).
  6. Click restore.

Voila!  There's the site.

It's really that easy.
