Hosting Control Panel accounts have different features for backing up your website or your databases.

Websites

How you can use backups depends on your hosting account's platform.

Linux

Linux accounts have a built-in restoration feature that gives you access to your files as they were stored over the last 30 days. For more information, see Restoring a Linux Hosting Account.

If you have backups you've manually created, you can upload it using your file manager (more info).

Windows

If you have a backup of your website's files, you can upload it using your file manager (more info).

Databases

Hosting Control Panel accounts have a set of tools to backup and restore MySQL and MS SQL databases. For more information, see Backing up and Restoring MySQL or MSSQL Databases.

Before restoring your Website, note the following:

• If you installed an application through Installatron and configured it to keep backups, you can use its restore feature to revert your website to a previous state (more info).
• cPanel only lets you select backups you have manually created.
• Our cPanel shared hosting accounts do not support the Full Website Backup feature yet.

To Restore Your cPanel Account from a Backup

1. Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Launch.
2. In the Files section, click Backups.
3. In the Partial Backups section, in the section for the type of backup you want to use, click Choose File.
4. Locate the backup on your computer, select and confirm it.
5. Click Upload.

1. Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Launch.
2. On the right, click Backup Manager.
3. Click the link in the Name column for the backup you want to use.
4. We recommend using the following settings:<

   Section	Select this...
   What do you want to restore?	Select All objects (entire system).
   Components to restore	Select Domain configuration and Virtual host content NOTE: Database backups are handled separately, so selecting the option here produces no effect.
   Suspend domains until the restoration task is completed	Do not select this option.

5. Click Restore.

Plesk lets you restore databases from backups, as well, but the process is separated from the rest of your website's content.

To Restore Your Databases

1. On the Backup Manager page, from the More Actions menu, select Database Backup Repository.
2. Select the database restore you want to use. You can see which database the backup correlates to in the Database name column.
3. Click Restore.
4. Select Confirm the restoration, and then click OK.
