If your website has been damaged, hacked, or misconfigured, you can restore it to a previous state using a backup. This will replace your current website files with the backup contents.

Steps

  1. Navigate to your website management page.

Tip: Restoring a backup replaces your current files. If you have made changes since the backup was created, those changes will be lost. Consider creating a new backup before restoring an old one.
