Anyone have experience? restoring from backup file?
 
Warning: The uploaded backup file (backup_testdomain.com_2409060719.tar) was modified, corrupted, created on another server or in an older Plesk version that does not support signing of backups. Before restoring data from this backup file, make sure you can trust the source of this file.

After upload it do not add to list of back up to restore.

That is where i am stuck
 
I unchecked the checkbox "Upload backup files without a valid signature "
Error: Unable to upload the backup file (backup_testdomain_2409060719.tar). The file was modified, corrupted, created on another server or in an older Plesk version that does not support signing of backups. If you trust this backup, then select the "Upload backup files without valid signatures" option and repeat uploading.
 
Above "checked the checkbox "Upload backup files without a valid signature " uploaded file in testdomain directory unzipped form. Issue is its not listed in backup so i cant restore. I dont know how to move forward. i thought you can backup and restore among all obsidian. Very weird.
 
Chat gpt asked me to run this command

  1. Step 3: Check Backup
    [1:10 PM]
    IntegrityBefore proceeding further, use any necessary tools to verify the integrity of the backup file to ensure it's not corrupted. This can be done using common Linux tools like tar for inspecting the .tar file.

    tar -tf backup_fastbuy.com_2409060719.tar

As no one replying my next attempt is install alma linux 8 in amazon light sail and install same version of plesk. They problem is if anyone update by mistake old backups wont work again. Downgrade seems not possible. We are literally stuck in this mess

There should be a way if people get stuck without going through whole install for each domain.
 
I am installing plesk in alma linux 9. if this do not work i will abandon plesk and move to CPANEL once and for all. I was happy when i moved from godaddy and to new hots. Moving was breeze. were up and running in few hours. it was moved from ubunto to alma linux

Now its all problems
 
Ok i installed alma linux 9 instance and installed plesk 18.0.63.4 but i ran command to install older version but it just skipped it

sh <(curl http://autoinstall.plesk.com/one-click-installer) --select-release-id PLESK_18_0_58

I ran that command and it installed latest instad of the mentioned 18.0.58

Same issue.

==========================================
Warning: The uploaded backup file (backup_testdomain.com_2409060719.tar) was modified, corrupted, created on another server or in an older Plesk version that does not support signing of backups. Before restoring data from this backup file, make sure you can trust the source of this file.
For security reasons, we recommend that you protect data contained in backups. Please go to 'Backup Settings' and update backup security settings.

Upload button end up with above warning with no backup listed.


I am stuck. Anyone have an idea to solve this. Why add new feature without thinking current user of old version of obsidian 18.0.58.2

Let me know if you have any solution?
 
I would suggest you contact the Plesk Support Team:

You can still get Plesk Support if your license does not include Plesk support. It's free for the first month.
Just follow the link to the store and don't forget to cancel it when the issue has been solved.
 
Now i am installing plesk 18.0.58.2 now. Amazon lightsail dont connect. Some reason plesk service not running. This happen before . i did run some command and it worked but now i forgot
