Hi Regarding to WHM Backup Restoration, there is something strange when I restore a backup for any account. If there is an old backup includes (some files in File Manager, emails and there is no any databases) Today, I created a new database and changed some files & emails. When I try to restore the old backup, it replaces all the new files & emails with the old files & emails but unfortunately it keeps the new database. Why it doesn't delete this new database?

  This is the intended behavior so as not to delete a database that may be in use or potentially contain important data.

  Then why it deletes the files? Files also may be in use or potentially contain important data :) Is there any way to change the settings to be deleted also like files?

  Databases are handled differently than files, it's an entirely different process to backup and restore databases than to do the same with files. There isn't a way to change the settings in how a restore is processed, no.
