From there, there should be a folder with the same name as the world you want to restore. Open up whichever zip file you want and (making sure to delete the old world save first!) extract the world save from the zip file into your "saves" folder in .minecraft

Next, locate and right-click on your current world folder. You can choose to rename or delete it, but it's essential to have a backup before performing any deletion. The goal is to replace, not overwrite, the existing folder. Afterward, navigate to the "backups" directory and locate the backup you intend to use. The backups are typically named based on the date and time of creation, with the most recent one listed last. If the backup file is in ".zip" format, right-click and choose to extract its contents.

Once you've extracted the backup, open the directory that matches its name and right-click on the world folder. Select "Move" and confirm the action by clicking on the topmost folder in the window that appears. Finally, start the server using the green start button on the right side of the Console page.

It's important to note that AromaBackup is primarily recommended for single-player or LAN worlds. While it can be used on a server, clients must also have the Aroma1997Core installed. Additionally, make sure to monitor hard drive usage and periodically flush old backups to avoid potential issues.
