  Hello @grabyourhosting, The ability to restore a cPanel account backup from a remote destination is limited to the FTP destination type in version 80. Support for additional remote destination types may come in future versions, but there's no specific time frame to offer on the SFTP destination type at this time. I encourage you to vote for and follow the feature request below to receive updates on the implementation of additional destination types: Restore from remote backups Thank you.

  Hello @HostXNow_Chris,

  There was a feature request for this at Restore From Remote Backups feature request was closed based on the inclusion of this feature in cPanel & WHM version 80. Since support for this feature is limited to the FTP remote destination type, I recommend opening a separate feature request for the specific remote destination type you'd like to see this feature expanded with (e.g. SFTP). Let me know the feature request URL once it's opened and I'll ensure to encourage others to vote for it whenever the topic is mentioned.

  It still shows "The system cannot restore backups because it does not store those backups locally".

  
  You can still perform this task, however we recommend using the command line to do this since the command line is the most common method used to manually transfer the backup archives to the server. You'd follow the steps listed under "Step 6" on the document linked below instead of using WHM >> Backup Restoration: Backup Configuration (WHM >> Home >> Backup >> Backup Configuration) interface. Then, once you've moved the backups to the correct location and restored them, open WHM >> Backup Configuration, adjust the Retain Backups in the Default Backup Directory setting to it's previous state, and then remove the backup archives from the location you moved them to. Thank you.
