Jetbackup - Restore or download an email account backup
This guide walks you through restoring or downloading a backup file for an email account.
We have a separate guide that focuses on full account and file restoration using JetBackup and another for restoring a database.
JetBackup is accessed from within your account's cPanel, in the Files section or directly through the JetBackup section.

This does not mean your previous backups or data will be lost.
JetBackups are stored on separate backup servers - not directly on your hosting server. When you perform a restore (or generate a download), the data you request is pulled from the backup server to your hosting server before being restored to your hosting account or made available to Download.
Only one set of backup restoration data for your account can be kept on the hosting server at any time. The backup server retains intact version of all your available backup sets at all times. So, if you perform multiple restorations this simply means the new backup data will be copied to the hosting server so you can restore from it to your hosting account (deleting any prior backup data set held on the hosting server).
