In this guide, we’ll show you how to restore backups using JetBackup 5 and perform a full restoration from your available daily backups.

4. Start the Restoration
Once you have selected the appropriate backup, click the Restore button. A summary page will appear, showing the items that will be restored, including panel configuration, home directory files, domains, SSL certificates, and more.

5. Confirm the Restoration
After reviewing the items to be restored, click Restore Selected Items. The restoration process will begin, and you will be notified when it’s complete.
How to Restore Specific Items (Files, Databases, Email Accounts)
JetBackup 5 also allows you to restore specific parts of your account if you don’t need a full restoration. Here’s how:
1. Restore Files Only
In JetBackup 5, go to the Home Directory tab. Select the desired backup and click Restore. This will restore your website files without affecting databases or emails.
2. Restore Databases Only
To restore a database, navigate to the Databases tab in JetBackup 5. Choose the backup date and select the database you want to restore. Click Restore to begin the process.
3. Restore Email Accounts Only
If you need to restore email accounts, go to the Email Accounts tab in JetBackup 5. Select the backup and email accounts you want to restore, then click Restore.
