Locally restoring a ManageWP full site backup

I don’t have a ton of experience with manage wp but I am going to suggest an alternative for setting up a local site based on a live site. I would suggest using the plugin “All In One Migration”

https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/

Install the plugin on the live, select “export” it will generate a file for you.

Then go to XAMPP and create a fresh WordPress install including a fresh DB, install the All In One plugin there, then you can drag and drop the file into the import field from the All In One plugin settings, and it should take of everything for you.

It’s super easy. I never have issues with it, right now I have 50+ sites on Local By Flywheel that I transferred with this method.

Best of luck.
