Restore Functionality
Acronis Backup will be found in the website dashboard
In the next screen, we choose the date that interests us.
We are presented with 4 different options.
As soon as we click on the available button, Acronis will prepare the account for us.
When completed, we will see an additional button for download. Leaving this screen does not interrupt the operation.
Databases: The available databases of the domains. To restore, we choose the database that interests us and click "Recover".
If we do not want to recover in the same database, in the popup window that opens, we can specify a suffix, what name we want, for example, a date or any other name.
The recovery will overwrite all data of the existing database.
With this, a new database will be created from the backup with the suffix we specified, leaving our main database unaffected. Useful in cases where we want to have access to specific tables of the database.
Files: The files and folders of our website. We can either restore the entire httpdocs folder with all files and folders, or choose a specific folder or file within the httpdocs folder. If we want a "clean" restore, we must choose the option "Delete any files in the original location that were created after the backup"
Mailboxes: The available backups from the email addresses of our domain.
During the restore process, the mailbox is overwritten by the backup.
