The restoring VPS backup operation is identical for manual and scheduled backup types, the only difference is that manual and scheduled backups are restored from different locations of the CloudBlue Commerce CCP.
To restore a VPS from a backup, follow these steps:
- Depending on the backup type, go to:
- VPS Hosting > Configuration & Administration > Backups if you want to restore a manual VPS backup. The Manual backups subtab opens by default, it contains the list of all existing manual backups of your VPS.
- VPS Hosting > Configuration & Administration > Backups > Scheduled backups tab > Backups list subtab if you want to restore a scheduled VPS backups. The list of existing scheduled backups of your VPS appears.
- Click the name of the backup to be restored. Any VPS may have any number of its backups made at different dates. As a rule, you choose the most recent backup, unless you have reasons to restore an intermediary one.You will see the details of the given backup: its ID, name, generation date, type, size, name of the backed up VPS and state.
- Click the Restore button, the Do you really want to restore the backup message appears.
- Click OK. The state indicator will change to Restoring.
Important: If the VPS host name was changed, but the backup was performed with the old VPS host name, the restored VPS will have the new host name. For example, VPS with host name vps1.example.com was backed up. Then, VPS name was changed to vps2.example.com. When the backed up VPS is restored, it will have the vps2.example.com name, in spite of the fact that it was originally backed up with vps1.example.com name.
