Restoring a website backup from JetBackup is easy and typically involves a few straightforward steps. JetBackup is a popular backup software solution used by many web hosting providers including Inbuiltweb. Here is a general outline of the processes involved:
Note: Before proceeding with the restoration process, it's essential to ensure that you have an existing backup created using JetBackup. On Inbuiltweb web hosting we offer automatic daily backup which can be restored using the JetBackup on the user's DirectAdmin web control panel.
- Access web control panel: Log in to your web control panel account provided by your hosting provider. Usually, you can access DirectAdmin by visiting your website's domain followed by a colon and server_port (Inbuiltweb clients can use inbuiltweb.org:2222 or replace inbuiltweb.org with their domain e.g., https://yourdomain.com:2222). cPanel users can access by visiting website's URL followed by "/cpanel" (e.g., https://www.example.com/cpanel) or by using the provided login url usually by adding a colon and 2083 to your domain with a valid SSL installed or adding a colon and 2082 for domain without a valid SSL.
- Locate JetBackup: When you are logged in, search for "JetBackup" through the search bar. The location may vary depending on your hosting provider panel theme, but it is typically found on the homepage of your panel.
- Access JetBackup Restore Manager: Within the JetBackup section, find the Restore & Download section, select the backup option of your choice and select the backup period of your choice from the backup list. It is usually sorted by date.
- Begin the Restoration Process: Once you have selected the backup and the items you want to restore, click on the "Restore" or "Start Restore" button at the bottom of the webpage to initiate the restoration process.
- Wait for Completion: The restoration process might take some time, depending on the size of your backup and the server's resources. You should see a progress indicator or a success message once the restoration is complete.
- Check Website: After the restoration process is finished, check your website to ensure that everything is working correctly. Test different pages, functionalities, and databases to ensure that the site is fully functional.
- Update DNS (if needed): If you are restoring to a different server or hosting provider, you may need to update your domain's DNS settings to point to the new server.
It is essential to follow the steps carefully and double-check your actions, especially when working with backups and website restorations. Always back up your current data before proceeding with a restore to avoid data loss in case of any issues. Additionally, if you are uncertain about any part of the process, it is best to reach out to your hosting provider's support team for guidance and assistance, Inbuiltweb clients can always contact our support team for assistance or to get the backup done for them.
