How to restore backups from Acronis Backup in cPanel Print

We keep a daily backup of your entire cPanel account including all emails, databases, and files for up to 7 or 30 days depending on your web hosting plan. You have access to these backups from cPanel and you can easily restore your files at any time by logging into cPanel. (We highly recommend keeping a backup copy of your entire cPanel account on your local computer as well as a cloud storage service such as Google Drive or Dropbox)
