Full backup restoration issue

[inthukha]

Hello,

I have generated full backup before a week in cpanel via "Generate full backup option". now i want to restore this backup. backup is 6GB so i can't download and can't upload.

I have root for the VPS and i try with "Restore a Full Backup/cpmove File" option. i given username that i want to restore and i moved the Full generated backup file in the /home directory and file is appearing in "Restore a Full Backup/cpmove File" page.

when i click Restore it give me this message "Restore Error, Cannot restore. That user already exists on this system". indeed this user is already available in the system.

My question is: should i Terminate this user account from system completely ? and then restore ?

Please advise

Thanks

Try to restore the webstite via backend of the server using the following command.

/scripts/restorepkg username --force

Yes ,

or you can restore from the command line and use the force command

Thank you, and what is the commands to restore ? and forceful means i didn't need to delete existing user and backup will overwrite ?
