Overview<\/h2>\n

This interface restores cPanel accounts from local backups or backups on a remote FTP destination. You can restore one or many backups by account name or by date.<\/p>\n

\n
Important:<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  • To use this feature, you must<\/strong> enable account backups in WHM\u2019s Backup Configuration<\/em> interface (WHM >> Home >> Backup >> Backup Configuration<\/em>).<\/li>\n
  • To use a remote FTP destination as a source, it must<\/strong> already exist in the Additional Destinations<\/em> section of WHM\u2019s Backup Configuration<\/em> interface (WHM >> Home >> Backup >> Backup Configuration<\/em>).<\/li>\n
  • To restore a cpmove<\/code> file, use WHM\u2019s Transfer or Restore a cPanel Account<\/em> interface (WHM >> Home >> Transfers >> Transfer or Restore a cPanel Account<\/em>).<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    The Backup Restoration<\/em> interface<\/h2>\n

    This interface contains two tabs, the Restore by Account<\/em> tab and the Restore by Date<\/em> tab. In each tab, the interface marks the step that you\u2019ll need to complete with a blue border. The interface does not mark the Options<\/em> section since you can customize your selections.<\/p>\n

    In the example below, the blue border highlights the calendar. The selection indicates that the user should select a date from the Available Backup Dates<\/em> calendar.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The Select User<\/em> list<\/h3>\n

    The Select User<\/em> list includes the cPanel accounts that own at least one backup. To select an account, click on the account\u2019s name. To filter the list, enter an account name in the Filter Accounts<\/em> text box.<\/p>\n

    \n
    Note:<\/div>\n
    \n
      \n
    • \n

      You may only<\/strong> add one account to the queue at a time. After you add an account to the queue, the account name appears in gray and you cannot select it again.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      You must<\/strong> wait for the restoration process to finish before you can add that account to the Restoration Queue<\/em> list again.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      The Available Backup Dates<\/em> calendar<\/h3>\n

      This calendar shows the dates when a backup is available for the selected cPanel account. The interface marks the available calendar days\u2019 numbers in blue. You can select one of the dates. Calendar days with no backups for that account appear in gray, and you cannot select them.<\/p>\n

      The Options<\/em> list<\/h3>\n

      This list allows you to control how much of the account\u2019s information you wish to restore. The system enables the Restore Subdomains<\/em>, Restore Mail Configuration<\/em>, and Restore MySQL<\/em> options by default.<\/p>\n

      The list contains the following options:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Restore Subdomains<\/em> \u2014 Restores any subdomains that appear in the account\u2019s backup archive.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Restore Mail Configuration<\/em> \u2014 Restores the account\u2019s email configuration.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Restore MySQL<\/em> \u2014 Restores the account\u2019s MySQL\u00ae databases.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Restore from<\/em> \u2014 From the menu, select a backup destination from which to restore your backup.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Give Dedicated IP Address<\/em> \u2014 Assigns the account a dedicated IP address during the restoration process.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \n
        Note:<\/div>\n
        \n
          \n
        • \n

          If you disable the Restore Subdomains<\/em> option, the system restores aliases but not subdomains.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          The interface enables the Restore from<\/em> menu when a local and a remote directory contain backups for the selected account. You can configure backup destinations in the Additional Destinations<\/em> tab in WHM\u2019s Backup Configuration<\/em> interface (WHM >> Home >> Backup >> Backup Configuration<\/em>).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          If an account owns a dedicated IP address at the time of restoration, it maintains that same IP address. For more information, see The Give IP Dedicated IP Address behavior section below.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
