File and Directory Restoration in WHM

 

The is an already released feature in cPanel version 68. In this version, this option is named as File Restoration because it is only allowed to restore the files. The new release comes with the option to restore both files and directory. This operation can be performed either from WHM or cPanel. In this documentation, we are discussing about the file and directory restoration from WHM.

 

This features can be enabled only by configuring account backups in the WHM backup configuration interface.

WHM >> Home >> Backup >> Backup Configuration

 

This features will be allowed only to restore the files and directories from the local backup files. We can also restore the files and directories from the remote available backups, by moving the remote backup to the local backup location.
