High quality, yet affordable cPanel Linux hosting!

WHM File and Directory Restoration Interface

The File and Directory Restoration interface in your WHM control panel lets you restore items from the local backups of your cPanel account users.

Please note that this feature only restores local backups. If you'd like to restore remote backups, first you must transfer the remote backup files to the server.


Accessing the File and Directory Restoration interface

Login to your WHM control panel using your web browser. Go to 'http://www.yourdomain.com/whm/' (without the quotation marks). So if your domain name is 'example.com' you should go to 'http://www.example.com/whm/' to login to your control panel. The File and Directory Restoration interface is in the "Backup" tab, simply click on the name to enter.
