If you've deleted or broken a file, you can bring back an earlier copy with JetBackup.
Restoring Files
- Log in to cPanel (see How to Log In to cPanel)
- In the JetBackup section, click File Backups
- Choose a backup from a date before the problem
- To restore everything, click Restore. To restore only some files, click Change Files Selection, tick the files or folders you want, and click Restore Selected
- Confirm the restore
You can follow its progress under Queue. Most restores take a few minutes.
Restoring files replaces the current versions with the backup copies. If you've changed anything since the backup that you want to keep, download it first.
Restoring a Whole WordPress Site
A WordPress site is made up of files and a database. To roll the whole site back to an earlier date, restore both:
- Restore the site's files as above
- Restore its database from the same date (see How to Restore a Database With JetBackup)
