Anyone used command-line restore?

Has anyone got the command-line restore to work?

As described here:
http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/P...plesk-8.1-win-backup-restore-manual/22984.htm

e.g.
restore.exe -f backup.psa

When I try it, the restore GUI appears, showing the specified filename in the 'Select backup file' box.

It doesn't make any difference if I'm in the admin\bin folder or not.

Cheers,
Julian

I also tried the Plesk 7.6 domain_bu.exe utility, which has been removed from Plesk 8.1. Unfortunately, that just outputs 'Unable to restore dump' whatever I try.

Is there any way to restore via the command-line in any Plesk version?

This topic http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/P...plesk-8.1-win-backup-restore-manual/22984.htm entitled "Restoring Plesk Data Through Command Line Interface" is simply wrong in both the Plesk 7 and Plesk 8 documentation. restore.exe is not a command-line program.

The domain_bu is missing some important details:

1) An example of a backup command-line:

domain_bu.exe --backup --domain-name=domain.com "--dump-file=C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\Backup\domain.bu"

2) domain_bu can only restore a backup file created by domain_bu.

3) Before restoration the domain must already exist in Plesk.
