Restore Options Explained (Full / Files / Database)

1. Shared Hosting (typical)

   1. Primary option: Full account restore (files + databases + email data).

   2. This is the fastest and most consistent method for shared environments.

2. VPS

   1. Primary option: Full VM restore (returns the server to a previous state).

   2. Partial restores (specific folders/databases) are possible but usually quoted.

3. ERP

   1. Restore includes database + files + add-ons (per your deployment).

   2. Restore points may support date/time selection within retention windows.

4. Choosing the right option

   1. If the issue is unknown or widespread → choose full restore.

   2. If you’re sure it’s database-only (rare) → ask, but expect a quote/assessment.

5. Overwrite warning

   1. Restores typically overwrite current production data.

   2. If you want to preserve current state, take your own safety backup first.
