Plesk Backup /Restore - 8.3 8.6 9.0 - psa convert

Merhaba ;

Eski nesil plesk kullanan sistem yöneticileri ( plesk 9 dan önceki ) aldıkları yedeği plesk 9.0 a dönmek istediklerinde değişen birşeylerin olduğunu hemen anlamakatadır. Bunlardan biride benim 🙂

sahip olduğum psa uzantılı dosyayı artık kullanamadığımı fark ettim ve bunun için elimdeki yedeği nasıl plesk 9.0 a yüklerimi araştırdım ve bulduğum sonuçları hemen sizinle paylaşıyorum.

1. Migrate server

a. Login to source server and create full Plesk backup with pleskbackup:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup all BACKUP.FILE

b. Copy the dump to destination server with Parallels Plesk Panel 9 and convert the backup to version 9 with pre9-backup-convert.

/usr/local/psa/bin/pre9-backup-convert -v convert -d /var/lib/psa/dumps/ BACKUP.FILE

Where /var/lib/psa/dumps/ is Backups directory on destination Parallels Plesk Panel 9.

This will create number of backup XML files and subdirectories with data under /var/lib/psa/dumps.

c. Login to Parallels Plesk Panel as administrator and change to the server backup repository:

Home -> Backup Manager -> Server Repository

There is a list of backup files in the server repository.

d. Click the backup name to enter Backup Details page.

e. Select the required restoration options and click Restore to start the restoration process.

Note: you should mark enabled option Administrator's clients to restore all client and domains from the backup.

2. Migrate client

a. Login to source server and create backup of clients you want to migrate or full server backup with pleskbackup:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup all BACKUP.FILE

or

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup clients CLIENT.LOGIN BACKUP.FILE

b. Copy the dump to destination Parallels Plesk Panel 9 and convert the backup to version 9 with pre9-backup-convert.

/usr/local/psa/bin/pre9-backup-convert -v convert -d /var/lib/psa/dumps/ BACKUP.FILE

This will create number of backup XML files and subdirectories with data under /var/lib/psa/dumps.

c. Login to Parallels Plesk Panel as administrator and create new client with same login of migrated client.

d. Then access local backup repository of the new client:

Clients -> CLIENT NAME ->  Backup Manager

Because
login of new created client coincides with login of client from the
dump the converted backup should be shown in the repository.

e. Click the backup name to enter Backup Details page.

f. Select the required restoration options and click Restore to start the restoration process.

3. Migrate domain

a. Login to source server and create backup of domain you want to migrate or full server backup with pleskbackup:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup all BACKUP.FILE

or

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup domains DOMAIN.NAME BACKUP.FILE

b. Copy the dump to destination Parallels Plesk Panel 9 and convert the backup to version 9 with pre9-backup-convert.

/usr/local/psa/bin/pre9-backup-convert -v convert -d /var/lib/psa/dumps/ BACKUP.FILE

This will create number of backup XML files and subdirectories with data under /var/lib/psa/dumps.

c. Login
to Parallels Plesk Panel as administrator and create new domain name
that coincides with name of the migrated domain from backup.

d. Then access local backup repository of the domain:

Domains -> DOMAIN.NAME -> Backup Manager

Because new domain name coincides with domain from the backup the converted backup should be shown in the repository.

e. Click the backup name to enter Backup Details page.

f. Select the required restoration options and click Restore to start the restoration process.

To migrate objects from Parallels Plesk Panel version 7.5 you should convert the backup to version 8 with utility backup-convert first. Refer to the following article for details: http://kb.parallels.com/en/1727
After that you may converted the backup to version 9 with pre9-backup-convert and then restore it through Backup Manager in the control panel.

Additional information

Plesk utilities pleskbackup and pre9-backup-convert may be located in different directories on your Parallels Plesk Panel 9. 
There /var/lib/psa/dumps is server Backups directory (DUMP_D) and /usr/local/psa is Plesk root directory (PRODUCT_ROOT_D).
Use article kb.parallels.com/en/952 to get the variables for your system.

Procedure
of server migration from Parallels Plesk Panel version 9.x to another
Parallels Plesk Panel version 9.x is described in article http://kb.parallels.com/en/5969

Migration from other hosting platforms will be available in Plesk Migration Manager.
