Restore Backup files from client to Server share

Hi,

I've got a question that is asked of me in a course I am studying, and I can't figure it out.

I've backed up a folder from a client to a network share on a file server ( Server 2016 ). I am asked to restore this to the file server. How do I do this?

So far I have tried using the Recover option in Windows Server Backup, but when I specify the shared folder it gives me "The specified remote shared folder does not contain any backup". I am guessing this is because it is not a Server backup, but a Windows 10 backup.

What is a reasonable method to do this restore?

It seems like an odd question, but I think there must be a way or I would not be asked to perform the task.
