How to restore a website backup in cPanel
Here are the steps to restore a website backup using Jet Backup in cPanel at dotCanada.com:
- Log into your dotCanada.com cPanel account.
- Under the "Files" section, click on "Jet Backup".
- Click the "Restore" tab at the top of the page.
- Select the backup file you want to restore from the list of available backups.
- Choose the destination for the restore:
o Overwrite Existing Data: This will overwrite your current website files with the backup.
o Restore to a Different Directory: This will restore the backup to a new directory, leaving your current website untouched. - If restoring to a different directory, enter the new directory path in the "Destination Directory" field.
- Click the "Restore File(s)" button to begin the restore process.
- Once the restore is complete, you'll see a success message. If restoring to a different directory, you may need to move or copy the restored files to your document root.
A few additional tips from dotCanada.com:
• It's recommended to create a full backup before restoring, in case you need to revert changes.
• The restore process may take some time depending on the size of your backup.
• If restoring a database backup, use the "Database Backup" tool in cPanel instead.
• Contact dotCanada.com support if you have any issues or need further assistance.
