If your website has been hacked, files were accidentally deleted, or you need to revert to a previous state, you can restore from a backup. Plesk allows you to restore the entire account or only specific components. This guide covers the restoration process.

### Restoring All Data from a Backup

1. Log in to **Plesk**.
2. Go to **Websites & Domains** → **Backup Manager**.
3. Find the backup you want to restore from. Click on the backup date to open it.
4. Select **All objects** to restore everything.
5. Choose a conflict resolution policy:
   - **Do not overwrite:** Skip any files or settings that already exist.
   - **Overwrite:** Replace existing files and settings with the backup version.
6. If the backup is password-protected, enter the password.
7. Optionally enter your email for a completion notification.
8. Click **Restore**.
9. Wait for the restoration to complete. Your website may be briefly unavailable during this process.

### Restoring Specific Objects

1. Open the backup by clicking its date.
2. Select **Selected objects**.
3. Choose the type of object to restore:
   - **Subscription** — Restore the entire subscription configuration and content.
   - **Site** — Restore only website files.
   - **Database** — Restore a specific database.
   - **Mail account** — Restore email accounts and messages.
   - **DNS zone** — Restore DNS records.
   - **SSL/TLS certificate** — Restore certificates.
4. Select the specific objects from the list.
5. Click **Restore**.

### Uploading and Restoring a Downloaded Backup

1. Go to **Websites & Domains** → **Backup Manager**.
2. Click **Upload**.
3. Select the backup file from your computer.
4. If the backup was password-protected, enter the password.
5. Click **OK**.
6. Once uploaded, the backup will appear in the list. Click on it to restore.

### Important Notes

- Restoring a backup **overwrites** existing data. Any changes made after the backup was created will be lost.
- Always download a backup before performing major changes (updates, redesigns).
- If you forget the backup password, some data (like database passwords) may not be restored properly.

### Troubleshooting

**Restore fails with a conflict:**

- Choose **Overwrite** as the conflict resolution policy.
- If the error persists, contact your hosting provider.

**Upload fails or takes too long:**

- Large backup files may take a while. Be patient and do not navigate away from the page.
- FTP upload may be faster for large files. Contact your hosting provider for assistance.
