Hi,

Do you have the backup file at :
/home/USERNAME/softaculous_backups ?

Also is the username same as the old one ?

Hi,

Since the username is different Softaculous does not load the backup as the user's home dir will be different as compared to the home dir of the backup.

If you want we can make the changes manually to have the backup listed under your account. Please open a support ticket for this :

Also after you have restored your backup you will have to replace the existing paths and URLs if the database and config file if any. This is because the path of the installation is changed.
