  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

A guide to move all data from one server to another

I am relatively new to plesk, and I just found out the current way I migrate from one server to another will no longer work in version 9.

Can someone provide me with a guide for a successful way to move all data from one server to another?
 
You might want to look at the countless posts from others asking the same things and talking about it.
 
Well. Just released plesk 9.2.1 and migration manager is operational ! Just checked.
 
WRONG! It does not work! Okay, it worked for a little while, but after migrating 4 domains all of the sudden when I start the migration manager it just hangs. You can't even kill the perl script running on the machine that you are migrating from, you have to reboot the machine. I guess it's time to beta test 9.2.1 for them. Of course it would be nice if you could follow the instructions in the 'command line' reference, but then you end up with map file problems, and when you follow the instructions in the knowledge base about creating a 'map file' it tells you that the command has been deprecated. But then you should be able to copy a backup file via FTP or SCP to the destination server and use the 'restore' from within Plesk, which I found that with a 656MB backup file it restored the Plesk structure just fine, but none of the actual WEB files, Emails, or MySQL database tables. I know, I am probably just being too picky to actually expect this P.O.S. software to function correctly. And by the way you still can't delete a backup file that is in an FTP repository, nor can you copy it to the server repository. Guess the developers must have missed the posts about this problem.
 
This is crazy. I'm trying to migrate a domain now from 8.2.1 to 9.2.1 and after 15 minutes...nothing. It just says migrating and there is no progress.
 
I'll do you one better, I have one that I started (didn't really believe that it would work but I thought that I'd try) yesterday. It has been running for 15 Hours 27 Minutes and shows '0' progress. And it is migrating from another Plesk 9.2.1 server. The actual backup file is 656MB from this domain.
