## Restoring a Database

**1. Go to Backups**

Log in to Plesk and click **Backups** in the left sidebar to open JetBackup.

**2. Select Database Backups**

Click **Database Backups** from the JetBackup dashboard.

**3. Choose a Backup Date**

Select the backup date you want to restore from.

**4. Select the Database**

Check the database you want to restore.

**5. Restore**

Click **Restore Selected**. JetBackup will restore the database to its state at the time of the backup.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Restoring a database overwrites all current data in that database. Export a copy first via [phpMyAdmin](https://docs.digitalfyre.com/web-hosting/databases/phpmyadmin) or the [Plesk database tools](https://docs.digitalfyre.com/web-hosting/databases/import-export) if you need to preserve any recent changes.
