No permission for backup + where to unzip it on the server?

No permission for backup + where to unzip it on the server?

Hi guys, 
Yesterday I installed updates for all my plugins + Magento itself (1.7 > 1.9.2.4).  Afterwards some of my old ones didn't work correctly so I wanted to restore a backup I made before (system). I was told I had no permission to do so, so I tried to reinstall updates which appeared to be a bad decision as instead of bad-looking website I got an error "Service Temporarily Unavailable".
The only thing that works is mysite.com/downloader but I got no idea where can I go from there. 

On the other hand I have a systembackup.tgz but no clue where to unzip it, I bet it should be in the folder where I have following ones? 

app, errors, js, lib, media, shell, skin, var  

 

Should I now but my backup file there, create in the same folder a systembackuprestore.php file:

<?php
system ("unzip -o systembackup.tgz");
?>

and go to mysite.com/systembackuprestore.php ?
