Do you have an explanation on how to restore from a full server crash?

If a server crashes and fails, how would you restore the full server backups from the remote server to a new shared server with cPanel?

Hello,

Thank you for submitting this question.

There are several ways to restore server accounts using JetBackup,
The most recommended way is using the DR mode (Disaster Recovery).
https://docs.jetbackup.com/manual/whm/D ... overy.html

In case you don't have DR backups or your DR backup private key, you can restore the accounts manually by the following stages:
1. Install JetBackup on the new server
(https://docs.jetbackup.com/manual/whm/G ... ation.html).
2. Set up the backup destination using the same backup directory as set on the previous server.
(https://docs.jetbackup.com/manual/whm/D ... ation.html)
3. Sync the backup destination with the new JetBackup, by executing the following CLI command
"/usr/bin/jetcli backup -vfR reindex"
4. Then you will be able to start the restore process for the accounts.
The accounts will be set as 'Orphan accounts', go to Restore&Download page and choose orphan accounts to view and restore your backups.
(https://docs.jetbackup.com/manual/whm/R ... ght=orphan)

** JetBackup by default is set to delete orphan backups that older than 14 days. I Recommend to set it to an 'unlimited' value until the restore process is done, in order to not lose backups.
