Extra Database Users in Restore?

When going to restore your account, you may find that there are more Database Users than expected. This is because some panels create Database Users for every available IP/Hostname on the local server. In cPanel, you can see this by going to WHM -> PHPMyAdmin -> Mysql -> Users and notice that each "Database User " has multiple entries for each host, i.e. user@localhost, user@IP, user@domain, etc. 

JetBackup uses MySQL directly to backup the database users and will find all of the entries from the Mysql -> User table that match the account name. This is why you see multiple entries being restored for a single Database User.
