- Select the Backup: Choose the specific backup file you want to restore. You'll likely see a list of available backups, usually categorized by date and time.
- Choose Restore: Select the "Restore" option for the chosen backup.
- Confirm the Restoration: cPanel will often ask you to confirm your choice before starting the restoration process.
4. Waiting for the Restoration to Complete
- The restoration process can take some time depending on the size of your website and the speed of your server.
- cPanel will usually display a progress bar to indicate the status of the restoration.
5. Accessing Your Restored Website
