🔐 Important Notes
-
A Full Account Restore will overwrite existing files, databases, and emails.
-
Always double-check the backup date before restoring.
-
Large restores (like full accounts) may take some time, depending on data size.
-
If you only need a few files or one database, restore selectively to avoid overwriting unnecessary data.
