Acronis Backup in cPanel

• Open your web browser and navigate to Hosting URL which will resemble the following https://yourdomain.com:2083 or through your Client Control Panel.

• Enter your cPanel username and password to log in. 

• Once logged into cPanel, use the search bar at the top of the page and type "Acronis" to quickly find the plugin. 

• Alternatively, scroll down to the Files section and look for the Acronis Backup icon. 

• This will open the Acronis Backup interface where you can manage and restore backups. 

• View Available Backups 

• Inside the Acronis Backup interface, you will see a list of all available backups sorted by date. You may also have options to filter backups by file type, date, or backup type (full or incremental). 

• If your cPanel account has backups of both files and databases, they should be listed separately. 

• Click on the domain name which will redirect you to the Public_html folder. 

• Full Restoration: Restore the entire website or account to a previous state (including files and databases). 

• File/Directory Restore: Restore specific files or directories if only parts of your site need recovery. 

• Database Restore: If the backup includes databases, you can choose to restore individual databases or the entire database structure. 

Original or Alternate Location: 

• Original Location: Restore the backup to its original location, overwriting the current files or databases. 

• Alternate Location: Choose to restore files to a different directory if you don’t want to overwrite existing data (e.g., /home/axxesstest/acronis_temp). 

Overwrite Settings: 

• Overwrite Existing Files: If you want the backup files to replace any current files, choose this option. 

• Skip Files if They Exist: This option will restore files only if they don’t currently exist in the destination. 

Confirm and Start Restore: 

• Once you have configured the restoration options, click Restore to initiate the process. 

Monitor Progress: 

• Acronis will display a progress bar or message indicating the status of the restoration. Larger backups may take more time to restore. 

Check Restored Files: 

• After the restoration is complete, access your files through File Manager in cPanel or using an FTP client to verify that the files have been restored. 

Check Website or Applications: 

• Visit your website or check your web applications to ensure everything is functioning as expected. 

Database Verification (if applicable): 

• If you restored a database, you can log into phpMyAdmin through cPanel to review the restored tables and data. 

• Backup Before Restoration: Before starting a restore, it’s a good idea to create a backup of the current state of your website or files, just in case. 

• Permissions Check: After restoring files, verify that file permissions and ownerships are correct, especially if restoring from an alternate location. 

By following these steps, you should be able to restore your database or specific file(s) successfully using the Acronis Backup plugin in your domain control panel.
