Restoring a backup on a VPS (Virtual Private Server) running cPanel/WHM allows you to recover your website and its associated data from a previous backup. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to restore a backup on a VPS running cPanel/WHM:
-
Log in to your WHM account: To restore a backup, you will first need to log in to your WHM account.
-
Navigate to the "Backup" section: Once logged in, navigate to the "Backup" section, which can typically be found under the "Server Configuration" category.
-
Select "Restore a Full Backup/cpmove File" option: In the Backup section, click on the "Restore a Full Backup/cpmove File" option.
-
Select the backup file: You will be prompted to select the backup file that you want to restore. This file should be in the cpmove format and it should have been created previously.
-
Select the account that you want to restore the backup to: After selecting the backup file, you will be prompted to select the account that you want to restore the backup to.
-
Review and confirm the details: Review the details of the backup and the account that you want to restore it to, then click on the "Restore" button to begin the restoration process.
-
Monitor the restoration process: The restoration process may take a while, so it's best to monitor the process to ensure that it completes successfully.
Please note that restoring a backup will overwrite any existing data and settings on the account that you are restoring to. It's always a good idea to make a backup of your current data before proceeding with the restore.
