Restore and Download Website Files

Select the target website from the menu at top-left > Click the ‘Backup’ tab

You can restore your site from any backup you have taken in the past.

You can restore all files or selected files

There are two steps to a restore process:

1. Restore your website files.

Select the target website from the menu at top-left

Click the ‘Backup’ tab

Scroll to the table at the bottom of the page.

Click ‘Options’ in the ‘Restore’ column of the backup you want to use.

Select ‘Auto-restore All Files’ or ‘Selective Auto Restore’.

This restores your site files, but does not overwrite your current database.

2. Restore your database. You must do this manually. You can download the database from the ‘Restore’ options. You can get the database from a different backup-row if required.

The options above offer you flexibility when restoring a website. For example, you can restore your site to the ‘last-known-working’ version, while keeping a database which has your most recent transactions.

Run a restore operation

Select the target website from the menu at top-left

Click the 'Backup' tab

Scroll down to the backup history table:

Locate the row of the backup you want to use

Click 'Options' in the ‘Restore’ row:

File Restore:

Auto Restore all Files - Start the restore process. Files in the destination will be replaced by those in the backup.

Selective Auto Restore - Restore specific files and folders.

Download E ntire B ackup - Download a .zip file of the backup. You can use this to manually restore all files, run a partial restore, or simply retrieve some lost / older versions of files.

Download Selected Files from Backup - Retrieve specific files from the backup. This is a simple download of files, rather than restoring them to their original location.
