SpeedyPage keeps automatic server-side backups of your hosting account. If you accidentally delete or overwrite a file, you can restore individual files and directories without needing to restore your entire account.

​
Restore a file or directory

1

Open File and Directory Restoration

Log in to cPanel through your client area or at yourdomain.com/cpanel. Go to Files and click File and Directory Restoration.
2

Find the file or directory

You have two options:
  • Browse — Select Browse files and directories and navigate through your home directory to find the item you want to restore.
  • Enter a path — Select Enter a path and type the path relative to your home directory (e.g. public_html/wp-config.php or public_html/images).
3

View available backups

Click Show Backups. A list of available backup dates appears.
4

Restore

Choose the backup date you want to restore from and click Restore. Confirm when prompted.
The restored file or directory appears in your home directory. If a file with the same name already exists, it gets overwritten with the backup version.
