Recovering Deleted Database In cPanel

A hardware failure or an incorrectly entered command could destroy a database. Data is one of a company’s most important assets, thus we should take all precautions to protect it. The most imperative part of the process is to take regular database backups.

We can very quickly restore a backup of a MySQL database to the cPanel account if it is stored as an uncompressed.sql file or a compressed.sql.gz, .tar.gz, or .tgz file. We can run the following steps to recover the database:

1. Firstly, log in to the cPanel account.
2. Then select “Backup” under the Files menu.
3. Now under “Restore a MySQL Database Backup”, select the “Choose File” button.
4. Then choose the sql, sql.gz, .tar.gz, or .tgz file to restore.
5. Finally, click the “Upload” button.

The recovery time of deleted database in cPanel depends upon the file size. The Browser will open a new tab that displays the status of the database recovery. Dump completed on… will be visible at the bottom of the page in this new tab once the restoration finishes.

Restoration happens only for the items that the cPanel account has the right to use. Removal of advanced permissions may occur. Additionally, recovering data from excessively large or corrupted backups in cPanel may fail. We might want to try BigDump, which utilizes PHP to attempt to import enormous SQL files a small bit at a time if the backup is too big to restore using cPanel.
