2) then go to the the directory which you just extracted then go to cp directory

3) there you will get the file with cpanel username you need to edit that file and check for

FEATURELIST and RS

if these values are something custom then you need to set them as :

FEATURELIST=default
RS=x3

save this file and now compress the backup again and try to restore it.

It should get restored without any issues.
