Hello Sean, thanks for the useful info. I am having a similar issue. I recently got my hosting on godaddy permanently suspended (copyright infringement issue), without having any kind of backups (such as CPanel backup, or export function from WordPress). However, and thank God, I installed UpdraftPlus plugin on my wordpress and I have some backups from 7th of January 2016 (Database, Plugins, Themes, Uploads). I emailed Godaddy to let me at least download a backup for my website, but have been over 48 hours, with no reply. I am losing organic ranking every hour passes. Anyways, I tried to test and backups on a free hosting (ones that does not require you to link your domain, and instead use a subdomain). When I install WordPress and UpdraftPlus on that subdomain, and try to restore my site, before restoration, it shows me the warning that you mentioned “This backup is from a different site. This is not a restoration, but a migration. You need the Migrator add-on in order to make this work”. Ignoring that warning, and going ahead with restoration, the site does not restore properly, and also show the page that says that “This account has been suspended”. What could the reason be? Please note that the domain name is still hooked to the suspended hosting account. Any ideas or suggestions? I don’t want to get another hosting service yet, just in case Godaddy decided to let me temporarily access my account again to make a copy of my backup. Any ideas or suggestions?
