Upload and restore backup
Under Consideration
Customers and resellers can download backups in WHM and cPanel, which is great. But they cannot upload such backups to the server and restore them. The server admin can use the manual procedure:
https://docs.jetbackup.com/v4.0/whm/Troubleshooting/manuallyRestoreAnAccount.html
Request:
- Add an "Upload" function in WHM and cPanel to load a local backup (created with either JetBackup or cPanel) to the snapshot location.
- Add the ability to then restore such a backup. (I think there JetBackup can do everything required already.)
How is this helpful:
- Makes downloaded backups more useful in the hands of resellers and customers.
- Makes it possible for resellers and customers to easily migrate from another cPanel server by restore full backups generated by either JetBackup or cPanel.
Thanks for your consideration!
I like this idea
Hi Stephen,
Thank you for submitting your feature request :) We will be discussing your request with our developers to consider implementing on a future JetBackup release and update here accordingly.

Thats a crucial feature for an backup tool, to get the backups up and running, and should therefore implemented, IMHO. thx

Thank you for the feedback and the vote johannes1080!
Just to share an update to everyone, we understand the convenience and flexibility this feature can provide to our users. our main concern/consideration at this time is that we have to account for the security risks this may potentially introduce as it gives end-users the ability to upload backups that may have been compromised/infected and that JetBackup does not currently have the capability to validate the integrity of backups being uploaded. With that said, we will be promptly providing updates as soon as we find a feasible solution.
Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's something we haven't considered or missed.

Currently trying to move from one host to my own. The old host has disabled cpanel backups and only has jetbackups. Would be great to be able to upload the file to my host and load without having to use commands/ssh/putty.

I'm up for this idea! really needed.

I also need this. I had to recreate a site from scratch, since the backups available that the admin attempted to restore were full of "widget factory" stuff. I.e. if I could have used a backup of the original site (created a year earlier), downloaded and stored on my own PC, I would have been able to restore the site myself with that backup that I knew was clean. Now, getting the site working again required a lot of futile work from both the admin and me.
I doubt that people, in general, want to destroy their own sites, into which they have put a lot of time and effort. Perhaps some kind of checksum id or security or passkey check system (whatever the correct name for it is), to make sure the downloaded backup file is "an original one", would help resolve the security concerns you have about people restoring their own sites.
