Can cPanel restore a full account backup automatically?

No. cPanel can create the archive, but automatic full-account restoration is a WHM/server-level operation.

Can cPanel restore partial backups?

Yes. Supported Home Directory, database, forwarder, and filter partial backups can be restored through cPanel.

Why can't I see File and Directory Restoration?

The feature depends on server backup configuration and feature availability.

Should I keep backups on the hosting account?

You can, but important backups should also have an independent off-account copy.

Will a restore merge old and new data?

No. Restores can overwrite current files or database content, so preserve newer data before replacing it.
