Finally……We have R1Soft CDP Backups up and running on all platforms! It look long enough, but after 5 months of testing we are happy with the latest versions of the software and have installed CDP Agents on all our cPanel servers which (at the moment) are backed up twice at day at 00:00 and 12:00.
The best bit is that you guys now have access to restore backups from one of ten backup points! Did anyone notice a new button on cPanel??
R1Soft CDP working with cPanel 11
cPanel clients can now choose to either restore backups of their whole /home/ directory or choose individual files and/or folders to restore in the event that (and we have all done it!) you have deleted the wrong file! Cliking the “R1Soft Restore Backups” button will take you to our CDP Server at which point you are presented with a file struture (tree) on the left hand side, and a list of files on the right hand side (just like navigating with Windows Explorer).
The first item you will need to expand is Disk Safe0 and then /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 once you have done this, you will be presented with a list of backup points (Date and Time)
10 Backup Points
Once you find the time you would like to restore from and you expand that point, you will find a folder called /home/ and once you expand this, you will get your home root directory just like how it is when you connect to your account via FTP or FileManager. From here, you can either select the whole /home/ folder or navigate to a specific area (e.g. /home/public_html/blog/ ) and select indivial files to restore.
Once you have ticks next to everything you would like restored, simply click the “Restore Selected Files” button on the top right of the page.
When you enter the restore page, there are two options:
Overwrite Existing Files
Encrypt file data over network
with tickboxes, so simply select if you want the backuped files to Overwrite Existing Files or if you would like the CDP Server to Encrypt file data over network while transfering to the cPanel server! You can even choose to Restore to Alternate Location!!!
Please do raise a support ticket if you need any assistance with this, however we have tried to make it as straight forward as possible. If you have a dedicated server or VPS and require this feature please contact us, even if the server is not hosted with EH!
