Using the Hosting Control Center, you can back up and restore SQL Server databases as often as you would like. However, you can only initiate a restore after any previous backup or restore request has completed.

To Restore a SQL Server Database

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. In the My Products section, select Hosting.
  3. Click Manage Account next to the hosting account you want to modify.
  4. In the Databases section of the Hosting Control Center, click the SQL Server icon.
  5. Click the pencil icon next to the database you would like to restore to open its edit features.
  6. Click the Restore icon in the menu bar.
  7. Select the back-up file you want to restore by clicking the radio button next to the back-up file name.
  8. Click Restore.

Your selected back-up file will be restored. You may check on the status of the restore progress from the SQL Server database information screen in the Hosting Control Center at any time.
