  <Step title="Select Database Backups">
    Click **Database Backups** from the JetBackup dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a Backup Date">
    Select the backup date you want to restore from.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the Database">

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