4.1. Location of Restored Files

• Backups of all databases are located in /var/backupmysql/. Each restored database will be saved as a .sql file, which must be imported manually.
• Email backups are located in /var/spool/postfix/busties/. Within this directory, there is a folder per domain and, within each domain, a folder per email account. You can restore all email, a complete domain, or a specific account.

On the following screen, a summary will be displayed with the directories to be restored, the backup date, and the location of the recovered files:

In a few minutes, the data will be restored to the specified directory. You can access them via FTP or SSH. It is recommended to keep the original permissions and users to avoid operational issues.

For database restoration, you can use phpMyAdmin at the following address:

https://Your_cloud_IP/phpmyadmin

The access credentials for phpMyAdmin correspond to the database username and password.
