    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.

    Hi Paul Hermans!

    Thanks for the question.

    Here are the steps:

    1.Go to Tools & Settings > Backup Manager and select the backup from which you want to restore the subscription.

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

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

    4. Hit "Restore".

    That's it.
