Hi I have just started up a new server, its a fresh install, I have 2 old accounts from an old server backed up using the whm backup utility befroe the old server went off over a year ago. How do i go about restoring these to user accounts please, i was hoping it would be as simple as putting the backup files in to the backup dir /home/backup but evidently that dont works as the backups are not showing in the restore panel... Any advice please?

  Hello, Upload the archives to the /home directory and restore them via:
  /scripts/restorepkg $username
  Or, move them to the "/backup/$date/accounts" directory after enabling backups on the new server and restore them via: "WHM Home " Backup " Backup Restoration" Thank you.
