Restore a File or Directory

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. In the My Products section, select Hosting.
  3. Next to the hosting account you want to manage, click Manage Account.
  4. In the Content section of the Hosting Control Center, click the File Manager icon. Then click the History button.
  5. Use the directory tree to navigate to where the file or folder resides that you want to restore.
  6. Below the toolbar, click the calendar icon to open the Quick Pick Calendar and select the date where you would like the file or folder restored. The directory list will refresh and display the version of your hosting account from the date selected.
  7. Click the check box next to the file or folder you want to restore and click Restore in the tool bar.
  8. In the Restore Files or Directories pop-in, select if you want the files to be copied to a new directory, or if you want to rename the files. When you're finished, click OK.

Your files will be restored with the attributes you selected.
