Restoring Website (Files and/or Database) From a Backup

You can access your hosting account backups by using the Backup Manager by SuperHosting plugin, located in the cPanel of all Linux hosting plans, offered by SuperHosting.BG.

You can restore files, directories and databases or download the system backup of your hosting account when using Backup Manager by SuperHosting.

Manually restoring data from a backup

Restoring files and directories

If you already have a backup downloaded/saved on your computer and you want to recover data from it, you first need to unzip it.
• Extract the cpaneluser.tar.gz file.
• You also need to extract the homedir.tar file which contains the hosting account files (public_html). After extracting the homedir.tar file, the public_html directory will appear.

To restore your website files, you need to upload them onto the hosting account via FTP.

Restoring a database

If you already have a backup downloaded/saved on your computer and you want to recover data from it, you first need to unzip it.
• Extract the cpaneluser.tar.gz file.
• In the extracted folder you will find the mysql directory that contains the databases (e.g. .sql files).

In order to restore the website database you need to import the .sql file.

This can be easily done in the cPanel -> phpMyAdmin.
