Need help with backup/restore...

I use a remote FTP back up to store back ups off site from my server. (Settings below.) How do I go about restoring an account if I need to do so?

If an account needs restored, you can copy the backup file from the FTP backup to the cPanel machine in /home and then use WHM > Backup > Restore a Full Backup/cpmove file area to perform the restore.

Otherwise, in root SSH you can perform the restore again with the backup on the cPanel machine in /home:

/scripts/restorepkg username

Of note, if the account still exists, you would need to terminate it prior to performing the restore or send the --force flag during restore using command line:

/scripts/restorepkg --force username

Above username would be replaced by the cPanel username.
