    Recently, some of my hosters has added a possibility to download created snapshot through:
    and i am tempted with that to save some budget, considering that that my server' expenses can be reduced up to 28%.

    But there is a lack of forceful explanations over the internet' search engines helping to quench my thirst.

    How to upload it back?

    rsync, snapper?
    which programme do i have to use?

    Actually how do hosting companies manage those processes of creation of snapshots and them further restoration?

    Earlier this cool guy @ztk.me had helped me with the borg backup system for the root server (somewhere else), but a long time did he visit this Forum before.

    Despite of lot of ads (with adguard enabled) i still love this forum (ISP Config developers are great).

    Bro, are you here?

    I would ask the hoster. Or examine the documentation and tutorials they maybe provide. Did the hoster tell how to upload snapshot back in the article they announced this capability?
    I would guess it is not a matter of which program to use. Rather, where are those snapshot files stored and how can you write a file there.

    If you please...

    Nope, they don't (OVH)
    Write a file? - hmm

    I store these snapshot files as a whole at the remote storage box (hetzner)
