Manual Restore Backup
The manual backup restoration process is used to restore data from one server to another, particularly when a server has been disconnected or deleted but its backup data is still available. This method enables the recovery of data or applications from the backup. It proves beneficial in scenarios where a server has been disconnected or deleted, yet its backup data remains. This procedure facilitates the restoration of data or applications from the backup.
To manually restore the backup, follow these steps:
- First, you can find the backup that was taken from your old server in the Archive Backups section. Follow the provided steps to download the backup of first server from the Archive Backup section.
Step 1: First, log in to the ServerAvatar Account.
Step 2: Now, navigate to the Backups Section.

Step 8: Go to File Manager option, Navigate to public_html folder and upload the application file by clicking on upload icon which is downloaded from archive backup section.
Step 9: Now go to Databases and create a fresh database for application.
Set the custom username and password as it is required later to login to PHPMyAdmin for further process.
