| You will most likely not be able to do this. Contact your web host and have them do it for you instead.

| When you login into cpanel under the files section, there should be a backup icon or backup wizard icon. Click one of those and then click download backup. Hope that helps

I recommend uploading your cPanel backup to the server. Then, open a support ticket with your host, asking them to run the cPanel restorepkg script on your backup file.

| The database is ~1Mb. Is it normal from the host to ask a price for such restore?

In my opinion, it is not normal for them to charge you for this service.

| You can't restore the database yourself? The host doesn't allow remote access to MySQL?

| What sort of database is it, a full cPanel account backup or a MySql database backup? If it is a full cPanel account backup, you will need your host to restore it for you (I'd be surprised if they charge you for this). If it is a MySql database backup, you should be able to restore it yourself either in cPanel or in phpmyadmin

| Most hosts will restore a backup free of charge. If you contact them I'm sure they'll be more than happy to help you.
