Restoring a file from backup
Deleted or broken a file? Your Dirham A Day plan includes backups, so you can usually recover it. There are two paths depending on what you need.
Restore from a server backup:
- Open the DirhamHost panel and go to Backups (or Backup / Restore).
- Choose a restore point from before the problem.
- Select whether to restore files, a database, or the full account, then confirm.
Restore your own copy: if you downloaded a backup earlier, simply re-upload the good version of the file via File Manager or FTP, overwriting the broken one.
Tips:
- Before restoring, note the current state so you can compare - a full restore can overwrite newer changes.
- For a single file, restoring just that file (rather than the whole account) is safer.
- Always test the site after a restore.
If you cannot see the backup you need, or need to recover a large amount of data, open a ticket in the client area or message us - we can restore from server-level backups for you. Time matters, so contact support quickly on WhatsApp +971 58 553 6767 or support@dirhamaday.ae.
