backup.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>JetBackup keeps several restore points<\/strong>, so you can jump back a day, a week, based on what you have saved. You need no coding skill for any of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you do not have hosting with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/\">YouStable<\/a><\/strong> and you have hosting service with other hosting companies, in that case, you cannot do this alone. You have to reach out and tell their support team that you want a backup restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is because DirectAdmin does not give you a restore backup button by default. You (a user) cannot restore backup yourself. It can only be done at the admin level by the hosting company\u2019s technical staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Their staff:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>logs into the server at the admin level,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>generates the backup,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and pushes the restore for you.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You stay stuck waiting, sometimes for hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>With YouStable<\/strong>, that wait is not there at all. On our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/hosting\/shared\">shared hosting plans<\/a><\/strong>, we set up JetBackup for every account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">JetBackup is a one-click restore tool built for regular users. It pulls back your files so your whole site lands in one clean move.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do not touch admin settings. You do not raise a ticket. You do not wait on anyone. You handle the full restore yourself, start to finish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I will tell you how to restore backup in DirectAdmin.&nbsp; This short guide covers exactly how the process is done [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":22755,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"iawp_total_views":62,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2275,2271,350],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kb-directadmin","category-kb-backup-monitoring","category-knowledgebase"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22742"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22742\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22767,"href":"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22742\/revisions\/22767"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
