I have a server running on Cpanel. My primary HDD is for storing data and Secondary HDD for backup purposes.

I am running "Incremental Backup" every night under the backup configuration in WHM. When i SSH into my server, i can see that all the domains and files are backup in /backup/cpbackup/daily/

The files backup are not in tar.gz format so when i tried to restore my account under WHM, i received this msg :

Searching /home....
No Restorable archives found!
Searching /usr/home....
No Restorable archives found!
Searching /web....
No Restorable archives found!
Searching /home2....

Searching /home3....

Searching /root....

Searching /usr....

No archives where found!!
This feature will restore full backups, cpanel backups and cpanel move files in the format of:
cpmove-user.tar.gz, user.tar.gz, backup-date_time_user.tar.gz
The files must be in one of these directories on the server:
/home,/usr/home,/web,/home2,/home3,/root,/usrYou must upload the file to one of the above locations before
using this feature.



Can anyone advise me how to restore my account from the rsync backup in the /backup/cpbackup/daily/ ??

Appreciate if someone can write down the procedure to restore. Thanks a million !

use the "Restore Backups" function (second option right below configure backups) rather than the "Restore a Full Backup/cpmove file" function.

I think following set of command can help you. It will resote the full data from the backup drive. Can give a try after consulting with a sys admin
