Backup/Restore Issues

[JeremyE]

So I am running plesk 9.2.1 on several servers, and I need to move some sites to a different server. What I thought I would be able to do was use the site/client backup and restore on the other server. When I setup a repository on the new server it does not list any of my backups. I cannot use the migration manager as I can not allow root external access to the box due to security reasons.

Anyone have any suggestions.

Why you cannot access root based on specific IP from Firewall then all is OK?

I could do that, however what happens if I have a software or hardware failure and I need to restore a backup to another server. That makes every backup I have ever done worthless.

Could be OK for you.

Since Plesk 11.5, which is in preview stage now,

there is a new feature: preliminary check for migration and transfer. Before transferring data from one server to another, Migration & Transfer Manager performs the check for potential transfer problems.

One can download Plesk 11.5 for evaluation, but it is not for production servers.
The download links are in Plesk 11.5 Preview thread
