# How to restore a domain in cPanel using Acronis Backup

This guide relates to restorations within an individual cPanel account or domain using the Acronis Backup plugin.

1. To begin, visit the cPanel ‘**Tools**’ page for your relevant site or domain, where you will find ‘**Acronis Backup**’ highlighted as per below. Click on “**Acronis Backup**”:![](https://cdn.document360.io/d809f158-d4f4-47ff-83d4-18d9c9f7a04d/Images/Documentation/image-F29TXJRO.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T17%3A18%3A13Z&se=2026-11-09T18%3A18%3A13Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=jY6vssHVtlG30bZahxw1PpSpz3RVgqdaZfp%2By3IP7Jw%3D)
2. Click on the backup you would like to restore from. In this example, we will use the latest backup at the top as highlighted in red. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/d809f158-d4f4-47ff-83d4-18d9c9f7a04d/Images/Documentation/image-Y7SYV38Z.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T17%3A18%3A13Z&se=2026-11-09T18%3A18%3A13Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=jY6vssHVtlG30bZahxw1PpSpz3RVgqdaZfp%2By3IP7Jw%3D)
3. As we want to restore a domain from your existing backups, click on the “**Domains**” section: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/d809f158-d4f4-47ff-83d4-18d9c9f7a04d/Images/Documentation/image-SSRWJCNN.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T17%3A18%3A13Z&se=2026-11-09T18%3A18%3A13Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=jY6vssHVtlG30bZahxw1PpSpz3RVgqdaZfp%2By3IP7Jw%3D)
4. Once the domains section is loaded you can select whichever domain you would like to either “**Recover**” or “**Download**”. Once you have selected your domain click “**Recover**”: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/d809f158-d4f4-47ff-83d4-18d9c9f7a04d/Images/Documentation/image-YHBG7Z9K.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T17%3A18%3A13Z&se=2026-11-09T18%3A18%3A13Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=jY6vssHVtlG30bZahxw1PpSpz3RVgqdaZfp%2By3IP7Jw%3D)

1. After you select Recover, a dialogue box will appear with additional options. This is providing you with an option to exclude any subdomain or add-on domains that may be attached to the domain you are restoring.

In this example lets not exclude any subdomains or add-on domains and press “**Start Recovery**”: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/d809f158-d4f4-47ff-83d4-18d9c9f7a04d/Images/Documentation/image-9BP97T14.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T17%3A18%3A13Z&se=2026-11-09T18%3A18%3A13Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=jY6vssHVtlG30bZahxw1PpSpz3RVgqdaZfp%2By3IP7Jw%3D)
2. We can now see that the task is being completed by the Acronis Plugin as highlighted below ![](https://cdn.document360.io/d809f158-d4f4-47ff-83d4-18d9c9f7a04d/Images/Documentation/image-DJ5HMOFK.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T17%3A18%3A13Z&se=2026-11-09T18%3A18%3A13Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=jY6vssHVtlG30bZahxw1PpSpz3RVgqdaZfp%2By3IP7Jw%3D)
3. The status bar will change when the operation is completed to “**Succeeded**”: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/d809f158-d4f4-47ff-83d4-18d9c9f7a04d/Images/Documentation/image-KK3HU2S3.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T17%3A18%3A13Z&se=2026-11-09T18%3A18%3A13Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=jY6vssHVtlG30bZahxw1PpSpz3RVgqdaZfp%2By3IP7Jw%3D)
