You can restore volume data and R/W layer data manually, simply by extracting the archive and move files to an existing container's R/W layer directory / existing volume's directory.

I do not recommend you to try restoring container metadata as it's a docker internals stuff. You should rather create a new container and then restore R/W layer & volume.

Container metadata mainly consist of json files, so they are human readable and can give you a good overview of the container settings.
