Overview<\/h2>\n
\n
Important:<\/div>\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>). Additionally, several settings exist that will disable the File and Directory Restoration<\/em> interfaces in cPanel & WHM under certain conditions. For more information, read the How to Manage Metadata Settings document.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The File and Directory Restoration<\/em> interface allows you to restore items from the local backups of your cPanel account users.<\/p>\n

\n
Note:<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  • \n

    This interface allows you to restore items from only<\/strong> local backup files. If you wish to restore items from remote backup files, you must<\/strong> transfer the desired remote backup files to the local server.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    This interface does not<\/strong> allow you to restore a cPanel account\u2019s .cpanel<\/code> and mail<\/code> directories. To restore these directories, you must<\/strong> perform a full account backup restoration.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    The system will restore deleted files and will overwrite existing files.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    The File and Directory Restoration interface<\/h2>\n

    To begin, select a cPanel account name from the list and click View Backups<\/em>. The next interface contains two sections, Files and Directories<\/em> and Backups<\/em>. The Files and Directories<\/em> section shows the files and directories that contain backups. The backups will appear in the Backups<\/em> section.<\/p>\n

    You can access backups from this interface in two ways. You can enter a direct path to the file or directory, or you can browse through files and directories to find the file that you wish to restore.<\/p>\n

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

    You can set the number of backups that the local disk stores in WHM\u2019s Backup Configuration<\/em> interface (WHM >> Home >> Backup >> Backup Configuration<\/em>). Edit the Retention<\/em> setting under the Scheduling and Retention section.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Enter a direct path to restore a file or directory<\/h3>\n
    \n
    Note:<\/div>\n
    \n Select Browse files and directories<\/em> to view a directory\u2019s contents. The system will not<\/strong> show a directory\u2019s contents when you select Enter a path<\/em>.\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    You can restore a file or directory from a direct path through your cPanel account\u2019s home directory. To do so, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      In the Files and Directories<\/em> section, select Enter a path<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      Enter the direct path to the file or directory in the text box. The text box\u2019s path is the cPanel account user\u2019s home directory path. For example, enter public_html<\/code> in the text box for the direct path to the \/home\/user\/public_html<\/code> directory. In this directory path, user represents the cPanel account\u2019s username.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      Click Show Backups<\/em> to list the backups for that file or directory. The backups will appear in the Backups<\/em> section of the interface.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    4. \n

      In the Backups<\/em> section, choose the backup that you wish to restore and click Restore<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    5. \n

      The system will ask you to confirm the restoration. Click Restore<\/em> to confirm. A success or failure message will appear.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Browse your home directory to restore a file or directory<\/h3>\n

      You can browse through the home directory to find the file or directory that you wish to restore. To do so, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        In the Files and Directories<\/em> section, select Browse files and directories<\/em>. The contents of the cPanel account user\u2019s home directory will appear.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • To see a directory\u2019s contents, click on the directory\u2019s name.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n

          Click Show Backups<\/em> to list the backups for that file or directory. The backups will appear in the Backups<\/em> section of the interface.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          In the Backups<\/em> section, choose the backup that you wish to restore and click Restore<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          The system will ask you to confirm the restoration. Click Restore<\/em> to confirm. A success or failure message will appear.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Files and directories that you successfully restore will now appear in the cPanel account user\u2019s home directory.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
