Panelica's backup restore is now granular: you can restore a single file, folder, database, or mailbox from a backup, instead of restoring the entire account.
Traditional panel backup restore tends to be all-or-nothing — restore the whole account, or restore nothing. Panelica lets you reach into a backup and pull back exactly what you need.
- Restore a single file, folder, database, or mailbox — no full-account restore required
- Browse backup contents with a file-tree view, search, and breadcrumb navigation
- Preview before you restore: text, image, and binary file previews
- SHA-256 checksum comparison against the live file, shown as identical / differs / missing
- Three-way conflict resolution when a file already exists: overwrite, keep both, or cancel
- An automatic safety backup is taken before every restore, so a bad restore is itself reversible
- Self-service for USER and RESELLER roles — no need to escalate a restore request to an admin
- Per-backup index caching keeps browsing fast even on large backups
- Go to Backups in your panel
- Select the backup you want to restore from
- Click "Browse files" to open the file-tree view
- Search or navigate with breadcrumbs to find the file, folder, database, or mailbox you need
- Preview it — check the file content and the SHA-256 checksum status (identical / differs / missing) against the live version
- Restore just that item
- If a file already exists at the destination, choose overwrite, keep both, or cancel
- Panelica takes an automatic safety backup before the restore runs, so you can undo if needed
"Restore everything to undo one mistake" is a bad trade-off. Granular restore means you can pull back one deleted file or one corrupted database table without touching anything else on the account — and you can verify exactly what changed first, with checksums instead of guesswork. USER and RESELLER accounts can do this themselves, without waiting on an admin.
Granular backup restore is available now on the current release for USER, RESELLER, and ADMIN roles. If you hit anything unexpected while browsing or restoring a backup, reply below — we read every thread here.
