Restoring a backup of your website

You restore a backup yourself. You choose whether to restore everything, or only the files or the database.

Steps

1. Go to Websites and open the website.
2. Go to Security and backups › Backups.
3. Next to the backup you want, click Restore….
4. Choose what you want to restore:
   • To a separate folder: the files go into a separate folder; nothing is overwritten;
   • Only the files;
   • Only the database;
   • Files and database.
5. Tick the box confirming that you understand what will be replaced.
6. Click Restore.

Good to know

• Whatever is there now is first kept in the private/ folder.
• Choose To a separate folder if you only want one file back. You then move it to the right place yourself via SFTP.
• Under Recent actions you see when the restore is finished.
