Question
What is the Restricted Restore feature in 'Transfer or Restore a cPanel Account' in WHM and what does it do?
Answer
The Restricted Restore feature is an experimental feature that allows the system to perform additional security checks on backup files being restored.
If part of the file has a security issue, the system will not restore that part of the archive file. This is to help mitigate the risk of transfers from unfamiliar sources.
