Restore and Download Website Files
Select the target website from the menu at top-left > Click the ‘Backup’ tab
- You can restore your site from any backup you have taken in the past.
- You can restore all files or selected files
1. Restore your website files.
- Select the target website from the menu at top-left
- Click the ‘Backup’ tab
- Scroll to the table at the bottom of the page.
- Click ‘Options’ in the ‘Restore’ column of the backup you want to use.
- Select ‘Auto-restore All Files’ or ‘Selective Auto Restore’.
- This restores your site files, but does not overwrite your current database.
2. Restore your database. You must do this manually. You can download the database from the ‘Restore’ options. You can get the database from a different backup-row if required.
The options above offer you flexibility when restoring a website. For example, you can restore your site to the ‘last-known-working’ version, while keeping a database which has your most recent transactions.
