Choose the Appropriate Backup Restoration Method

Truehost Cloud provides a robust backup system across all its Web hosting and reseller hosting plans. Choose from options like Email Restoration, File/Folder Restoration, Database Restoration, or Full Account Backup to expedite recovery with minimal issues.

When facing problems with your website, database, or emails, the inclination might be to perform a full account restore. However, this approach resets everything to the backup date, eliminating changes made afterward. It’s the slowest option and briefly puts your website offline.

Below are various situations you might encounter, along with the suggested backup restoration strategy:

  1. Accidental File Changes:
  • Situation: Accidentally deleted, modified, or overwrote an important file.
  • Recommended Strategy: Easily restore the file using the File and Folder Restoration tool.
  1. Software Upgrade Issues:
