I'm using PowerDNS which was converted from BIND and so its using this as a back end. cPanel gives this as officially to reload a manual DNS zone change for PDNS:

  I think I found the issue. It seems the domain also has to be created in /etc/named.conf as well. Is there a BIND command I can run to create this safely instead of having to edit the config manually? That way I can put this into the backup restore process first.

  If you do cPanel backups and you have "Backup System Files" enabled you find the file in system/files/_etc_named.conf.gz

  Not that I'm aware of, but cPanel does have /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/rebuilddnsconfig
  (aka /scripts/rebuilddnsconfig
  ) which will rebuild named.conf .
