How do I restore a backup? Print

  • 0

How you restore depends on what kind of backup you have:

  1. Files: in cPanel's Backup Wizard, choose Restore > Home Directory and upload your home-directory backup file.
  2. Database: choose Restore > MySQL Database and upload the database backup, or import the .sql via phpMyAdmin.
  3. Email/forwarders: use the matching restore option in Backup Wizard.

If you have a full account backup, individual users usually cannot restore the whole archive themselves. Open a ticket with the backup file (or its location in your account) and we will restore it for you. Always confirm the backup date before restoring, since it overwrites current data.
