Remote backup restoration

I need to restore an account from a remote backup, I've moved it to the /backup folder and recreated the /daily/yyyy-mm-dd/accounts folder path but its not showing in the restore by account view?

Do I need to do something else to make it show up?

  I managed to resolve this, then documentation isn't quite right here https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/backup/remote-restoration/
  
  It suggests you need to use the /weekly/ or /daily/ etc folder prefix but this worked perfectly for me if I ignored that.

  For example, on a server that stores backups in the /home/backup directory, the weekly backup on December 16, 2018 for the example user will exist in the /home/backup/weekly/2018-12-16/accounts/example.tar.gz file.

  So creating a folder in /home/backups/ for /yyyy-mm-dd/accounts/ and putting the remote backup files into here using a wget worked.

  I'm glad things worked well for that restore!
