    Hello :) I noticed you created the account before attempting to restore it. Please move the backup archive back into the /home directory itself, terminate the account, and then attempt the restoration again. Thank you.

    Thanks Michael, I did create the account before attempting to restore it. I put the backup archive in the account itself, in it's /home directory. If I need to terminate the account and move the backup archive back into the /home directory, I assume you are referring to the servers home directory? If thats the case I guess I need root FTP access to the server, correct? I do have root access to the server but have never been able to get FTP access to the server itself, only to each individual Cpanel.... I guess it has something to do with settings of the server, but before I look into this I will await your confirmation if this is the right path to take :) Many thanks!!

    You could actually use SSH access. EX:
    mv /home/$username/backup.tar.gz /home/
    Then, after you terminate the account, you can restore it via:
    /scripts/restorepkg /home/backup.tar.gz
    Thank you.
