Once you login to the web interface, you will be presented with the "Hosts" page. This page will display all of the hosts you are permitted to access to.

Next you must open the host page, do so by either clicking the hostname or clicking the "Open" button under "Actions".

After opening the host page you will be presented with a number of different options, the one we care about at the moment is the "Backup and Restore" button. (located at the top right of the host toolbar)

You may now select the disk safe to restore from, the disk safe with the highest number will contain the most recent backups. Select the disk safe and then select the date in which you'd like to restore files/folders from.

You will now want to navigate to the home folder, this folder will contain all of the files responsible for your domain (although mysql databases are kept in /var/lib/mysql). If you have a cpanel server you will find that the domain names have been concatenated down to eight characters each, on servers without cpanel you may expect to find the whole domain name. Select the home folder for the domain you wish to restore files to, then enter into the "public_html" directory, this is where your HTML, PHP and other media files will be. To begin restoring files/folder, click the square box that prefixes the files/folders you wish to restore, now click the "Restore Selected Files" button to the top right of the file navigation pane.

This is the final step in the restoration process. You have two options here, you may either restore the files to the original destination(overwriting is an option if you wish), or you may restore the files to a different location altogether. To restore files to an alternate destination, select "Restore to Alternate Location, then type in the path for this location. Once your satisfied with the restore options you may initiate the process by clicking the "Ok" button to the bottom right of the screen.

You should now be able to watch the restoration taking place from the CDP web interface, after it is completed verify that everything is in proper working order and your finished.
