Restore backup file in X5 Pro

It appears my project folder has been deleted (I think this occurred when I was trying to create a new project. As I was not satisfied with the results I chose to delete it and it appears to have deleted the project I wanted to keep too).
Unfortunately the backup folder in X5 Pro turned out to be empty although I had clicked on backup a number of times in recent months. The only backup files I have are for the former X5 Evolution folder.
Please advise if these can be used to restore the project in X5 Pro. I know these are 9 months old but I don't think I have any other choice.
Many thanks

Normally, projects from older or lower versions (Evo or Go) of WebSiteX5 Pro should load.

Many thanks for the prompt reply.
I'm afraid I couldn't follow the help page instructions. I found the backup file and renamed it as suggested, but wasn't sure where to go from there.
Can the backup file be loaded into WebSiteX5 using "Import"?

This is the problem I am running into. The backups are IWPRJ2 files but X5 will only accept IWZIP files at that point.
IWPRJ2 => Projekt file
IWZIP => Correct backup file
Perhaps other users can offer advice on how to salvage the situation if the IWZIP is missing.
Incomedia staff will be back online on Monday.
