Hello, I have generated full backup before a week in cpanel via "Generate full backup option". now i want to restore this backup. backup is 6GB so i can't download and can't upload. I have root for the VPS and i try with "Restore a Full Backup/cpmove File" option. i given username that i want to restore and i moved the Full generated backup file in the /home directory and file is appearing in "Restore a Full Backup/cpmove File" page. when i click Restore it give me this message "Restore Error, Cannot restore. That user already exists on this system". indeed this user is already available in the system. My question is: should i Terminate this user account from system completely ? and then restore ? Please advise Thanks

  Try to restore the webstite via backend of the server using the following command. /scripts/restorepkg username --force

  Yes, or you can restore from the command line and use the force command
