If you have used the separate home directory, MySQL, and e‑mail alias and filter backups (rather than the full backup feature), you can also restore these backups from the backup screen in cPanel. There are three separate places to restore the files you’ve backed up. All three are on the right side of the backup screen.

The first restore field is for home directory backups. Click Browse, select the compressed home directory backup file from your local computer, and click Upload to start the restore process. The file is first uploaded to your home directory and then it is decompressed and all the files restored. During the upload process, you won’t see anything happening on your screen. Once the upload is complete and the home directory is being restored the screen will clear and you will see the progress updated regularly. Be patient, the entire process can take a long time if your home directory is large and if you have a dial‑up connection to the Internet.
