How to Restore a Home Directory Backup in cPanel Print

  • home-directory, partial-backup, restore
  • 0

Home Directory backups are a partial backup type that cPanel can restore.

  1. Open cPanel → Files → Backup or Backup Wizard → Restore.
  2. Select the Home Directory restore type.
  3. Choose the Home Directory backup file from your computer.
  4. Start the upload and restoration.

Restoring an older Home Directory archive can overwrite current files. If the account has changed since the backup was created, first preserve any newer files you may need to keep.
