    Hi
    I got a backup from the site and saved it in the home directory of the site (didn't download it)
    Now if I want to restore the site to when I backed up the site, do I have to download the taken backup first and then upload it? ( what a pain) or i can use cpanel to restore the site without download and upload( if so please let me know how)
    thanks

    Is this a full backup?

    If so, then only your host can restore it for you

    thanks. but there is still no urgent need to restore the site. i was testing it.
    But i don't know how to restore the site without downloading the backup

    Download it. You cannot restore the backup so easily. It takes hours if you're on DSL. Backups are generally, 30+ MB and it takes about 5 hours to upload that much!!

    Give it to your webhost, and they'll restore the backup:)
