Restore SiteWorx Backups in NodeWorx
Recover from data loss quickly. Learn how to restore a SiteWorx account backup directly from the NodeWorx control panel.
Introduction
Accidental file deletions, failed updates, or site errors can happen to anyone. When they do, restoring a backup is often the fastest way to get your site back online. This guide shows you how to use the NodeWorx control panel to restore a SiteWorx account from a previous backup.
Prerequisites
- A server with InterWorx installed, OR
- A Nexcess plan that offers NodeWorx access.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Restoring a backup will permanently overwrite all existing data on the SiteWorx account. Any changes made to the site since the backup was taken will be lost.
- Log into NodeWorx.
- In the left-hand menu, navigate to SiteWorx > Backup / Restore.
- From the Reseller dropdown menu, select the Reseller that owns the account you want to restore.
If you are logged in as a NodeWorx Reseller (rather than a full Admin), you will only see the SiteWorx accounts that you own.
- Click the Manage button next to the specific SiteWorx account.
If the button says No Backups instead of Manage, it means there are no backup files available for this account.
- Locate the backup file you wish to use and click Restore.
- Check the box to Confirm Action.
- Click the Restore button to begin the process.
