Backup/Migration from Plesk 9.2.3 to 8.6

[Patrickv]

Hello,

I was wondering if it was possible to backup/migrate domains from plesk 9.2.3 to an older plesk (8.6 in this case)

the problem is, the current server we have our domains on will be offline end of this week, and the new server which is located somewhere else still only has 8.6, the people there dont wanna upgrade yet so I was wondering if its possible and how?

if not then it leaves me no choice then to upgrade to 9.2.3

many thanks.

Unfortunately it is not possible to perform such migration because there are different database structure, internal dependences, etc.

ok thanks for the anwser, so my best bet would be to upgrade the 8.6 version to the latest plesk 9 or to the same plesk 9.2.3 ?

P.s:
Can't plesk 9 load up backups from the older cause here 8.6 backups as a binary file and 9 as xml.

Look at this KB article http://kb.odin.com/en/5817 about converting backups.
