How to restore Full Backup when it's already on server

    I have a file that is already located on the remove server in the user directory
    /home/$user/backup-1.6.2009_15-54-44_$user.tar.gz

    I've noticed that the only way I can find to restore such backup is from CPanel's interface by
    * going to Backups -> Generate/Download a Full Backup -> download backup file
    * and then go to Backups -> Restore a Home Directory Backup -> browse for file and click Upload.

    So for this I will need to download a 3Gb file and then upload it back to the server. This is not good.

    Is there a way to skip all this and initiate Full Backup Restore when the file is already in the home directory of the user ?

    oh never mind, I got it.

    You have to go through WHM and choose

    Main >> Backup >> Restore a Full Backup/cpmove file

    And ensure your file is in /home and not in /home/$user

    thanks

    /scripts/restorepkg from the command line will restore full account backups. You could build a shell script to automate this script call.

    Full Backup Restore from WHM

    It seems that you are not having root access to the server and are having only Reseller account access to the server due to which you are not getting "Restore a Full Backup/cpmove file" Option in WHM. I'll suggest you to directly upload the Backup file under your account and ask your host to restore it .

    Regards,
    Rizwan S.

    First, move it from /home/username/ to /home/ then you can use the Restore an Account feature in WHM to restore the backup. WHM and root-level access via SSH will be needed (in most cases) to do this.

    When you run that command, you would only use the username not the name of the file:

    Code:
    /scripts/restorepkg username

    How as the backup made as backup.tar.gz is not how cPanel names any of the backup files it creates.

    All restores show this at the beginning. It means you didn't run a forced restore and it has reseller privileges available to restore. This is not an error message. You are receiving no actual error message after running the command?
