Question
How can I restore backups from a remote backup destination?
Answer
To use a remote FTP destination as a source, it must already exist in the Additional Destinations section of WHM’s Backup Configuration interface ("WHM / Home / Backup / Backup Configuration").
If you use another method for your remote backups, you will need to manually copy the backup back to your server, and then you can use the Transfer or Restore a cPanel Account interface.
In order for this feature to work, the backup or cpmove file must reside in one of the following directories:
/home
/usr/home/web
/home2/home3
/root/usr
Additionally, the files need to be named in one of the following patterns:
cpmove-{USER}
cpmove-{USER}.tar
cpmove-{USER}.tar.gz{USER}.tar
{USER}.tar.gz
backup-{MM.DD.YYYY}{HH-MM-SS}{USER}.tar
backup-{MM.DD.YYYY}{HH-MM-SS}{USER}.tar.gz
backup-{MM.DD.YYYY}_{HH-MM-SS}_{USER}.tar
backup-{MM.DD.YYYY}_{HH-MM-SS}_{USER}.tar.gz
For further information, please refer to the Transfer or Restore a cPanel Account interface ("Home » Transfers » Transfer or Restore a cPanel Account")documentation:
