backup-convert woes

[playerx]

Hi Forum,

I am in the middle of a migration from a Plesk 7.5 server to a newer 8.6 server.

Using the backup-convert tool, after running for tens of minutes, I am getting this error.

/opt/psa/bin/backup-convert --verbose convert --output xxx.dump/xxx.psa.backup xxx.dump/xxx.psa.dump
Runtime error: not a gzip file


I can edit the xxx.psa.dump file and it shows up as a MIME encoded format after a plain text header.

Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2008 01:07:50 UT
Dump-Type: FULL
Level: 0
Host: xxxx
Sqlver: 0750
Dumped-Psa-Version: 7.5.3

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="_----------=_122481047090530"

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

--_----------=_122481047090530

Any help is appreciated, TIA!

an update.

Still not working but got a different error message after swapping the arguments around.

xxx@xxxx:/media/local$ sudo /opt/psa/bin/backup-convert --verbose convert xxx.dump/xxx.psa.dump --output xxx.dump/xxx.psa.backup
Content-Type: multipart/related;
boundary="xxx.x.xxxx.xx.xx.xx"
Mime-Version: 1.0

Runtime error: Premature EOF without final boundary

EDIT: swapping the arguments made it use the partially converted file it left behind.

the help for those ineed.

sudo /opt/psa/bin/backup-convert --verbose help convert
