Faster: let an AI app do itMCP

If you’ve connected Inleed to an AI app, just write what you want done, for example:

Restore the whole hosting for example.se to yesterday’s backup

The app prepares the restore. You approve it in the client area.

Before you start

  • Save your own copy of anything you want to keep first, for example new emails or files.

How to restore

  1. 1

    Log in to the client area and click Manage next to your hosting.

    Your hosting’s page opens.

  2. 2

    Open the Backups tab.

    The backups are listed by date.

Important

Everything is replaced: the website, the databases and all email. Emails that arrived after that day are lost.

  1. 3

    Pick the day you want to go back to and click Restore.

How to know it worked

Done

Your hosting is back to how it was that day.

Waiting time

The restore takes minutes, and up to hours for large accounts. Meanwhile your hosting may be unavailable.

If something doesn’t work

Settings have changed after the restore

Why: PHP settings and Secure SSL may have gone back to how they were that day.

What to do: Check them in DirectAdmin and turn them on again if needed.

The restore fails

Why: The disk space is full, or the hosting is suspended.

What to do: Free up space and try again. If the hosting is suspended, contact support.

Free up space on your hosting

Good to know

  • Backups are kept for 7 days on Standard and Special.
  • On Standard and Special you can’t restore only one website or database, neither yourself nor through support.
