Backing up and restoring a domain

[nandar]

Hi,

If I backup a domain from Plesk control panel, will it also backup my database and mailboxes?

If I want to restore it to my another plesk server (same Plesk version), what will be the restore procedure?

Thanks.

Here is the answer for my question.

I used command line to backup/restore so that I can see what is going on. Here are the steps.

1) backup the domain

#pleskbackup -v domains yourdomainname.com backupfilename.bkp

2) Then create a map file

#pleskrestore --create-map backupfilename.bkp -map yourmapfilename

map file should be like that below. if not, edit it.

[thisdomain'sclientname] # Client account name

yourdomainname.com 11.22.33.44 # IP address
mysql:localhost:3306

Then you can restore it with the following command.

#pleskrestore --restore backupfilename.bkp -level domains -map yourmapfilename

This backup will back up everything including mailboxes and database.
