    Hello @Sharul Hafiz

    Backup can be restored only to the same domain.

    As a workaround you can download backup to your PC, extract needed files using 7-Zip and upload them to another domain.

    When a reseller deletes a complete Subscription from the server, how can we restore this Subscription using Plesk Backup Manager? We have a full server backup using Plesk Backup Manager.

    2. For "Type of object to restore" select "Subscription".

    3. Then find the subscription and select it for restoration.

    That's it.
