A normal cpanel restore takes too long to restore sites from the backup when all you need is the index pages (.html .php .htm)

1) Create a text file called userlist put each user account in the list that you would like to restore
2) go to the backup directory (we're using daily) located in /backup/cpbackup/daily/


----------

#!/bin/bash

#!/bin/bash

for i in `cat userlist`
do
tar xvzf $i.tar.gz *homedir.tar*
tar -C /home/$i/ -xvf /backup/cpbackup/daily/$i/homedir.tar *.php*
tar -C /home/$i/ -xvf /backup/cpbackup/daily/$i/homedir.tar *.html*
tar -C /home/$i/ -xvf /backup/cpbackup/daily/$i/homedir.tar *.htm*

# cleanup: remove tar folder and directory
rm -f /backup/cpbackup/daily/$i/homedir.tar
rmdir /backup/cpbackup/daily/$i/

  echo $i account restored  # Each planet on a separate line.
done
