How to restore a backup in JetBackup 5? – we talk about hosting unofficial (smarthost.eu)
Recently, new functionality in the form of Jet Backup has appeared on our hosting. Thanks to it, you can restore files, bases or emails by yourself. This is a very convenient and fast way. In this guide you will learn how to restore a single file as well as the entire catalog. However, before we start the first step you need to do, you must log in to your cPanel account.
List:
1. Setting the email address for notifications.
2. Restoring files and folders.
3. Restoring the database.
4. Restoring e-mails
5. Restore queue.
1. Setting the email address for notifications.
The first action we recommend is to set the email address in “Settings”, so you will receive notifications about “Backup recovery progress”.
After clicking on “Settings” we will see such a view:
You will probably see an empty field – enter your e-mail address where you want to receive notifications. After saving the changes, the following message should appear: “Email address successfully updated”.
2. Restoring files and folders.
In the main view in cPanel from the JetBackup category, we choose “File Backups”. After this action, available backups will appear on the screen, which you can restore.
To start the restoration process, please click on the link: File Manager. The service is simple and intuitive. To go to the folder, click its name. To go back to the previous location, at the top we choose the interesting folder (eg backupdir) from the current path.
In the above example, I selected the .htaccess file and the wordpress directory (because I want to restore it). Now I can do two things. Deselect or restore selected files.
Restoring the backup:
We fill the address for the notification, mark the agreement and click restore.
3. Restoring the database
As with files, we can also restore or retrieve the database. We do this by going to Database Backup. Then, we search for the database that interests us and click restore or generate download depending on whether we want to restore the database or download a copy to its own computer.
4. Restoring e-mails
When you want to restore your e-mail account, go to “E-Mail Accounts Backup”. There, we can restore the entire mailbox. Just like in the previous sections, click restore, select the agreement, enter the email address and press the restore button again.
5. Restore queue.
All items ordered to be restored (files, catalog, databases, etc.) are put into the queue and executed one after the other. The queue function will allow us to review the current operations we perform and those that have already been completed.
