Restore Manual Backup

I agree. The desired function. I always used it when I was on another hosting.

This is a very important option

Hi Vlad,

You have the option to create a manual backup, but you do not have a option for that backup that was created to be restored  ??

Hi,

This restore backup functionality you are asking about may be part of a much bigger enhancement/improvement of the backups section. I am thinking of the option each SPanel user to be able to set a schedule of local backups to be generated of the files, emails, databases with an option to browse and restore them via the User Interface.

Additionally, I am thinking of adding an actions button "Restore backup" next to each manually generated backup with options for the user to choose which parts of the backup they want restored - it can be files, emails or databases.

What do you think? Is there anything else that would be useful for you to have?

Hi Vlad,

Thanks for the reply,

I think what you wrote is great, 

Аdding an actions button "Restore backup" next to each manually generated backup, so that it makes sense to create a manual backup, of course the option with schedule of local backups is a great idea

This is now in progress as it is a feature within the new and improved backup system in SPanel which will allow servers admins to configure local & remote backups and set how many recovery points to keep on hourly, daily, weekly and monthly basis. The SPanel users will be able to browse and restore files/emails/databases from the configured backups from their SPanel User Interface.

Softaculous

does provide this but it would be nice to have this included in sPanel, please

We improved manual backups functionality in the new backup system which is under development and currently in the QA phase. SPanel users will be able to generate manual backups and select which folders/files/databases to be included in the manual backup and how long to keep that backup on the server before it is automatically removed. Users will also be able to restore specific files/folders/databases from each manual backup. Are we missing anything?

We pushed the update yesterday. You may now generate manual backups and also restore them. On the next phases we will implement support for encrypted backups (symmetric and asymmetric) and add more remote storage options such as S3 and whatever are mostly used.
