backup utilities vs migration manager

[thewolf]

Hi,

I have to migrate all the domains from an old server running RHEL3 with Plesk 7.5.4 to a new server, just installed, running RHEL4 and Plesk 7.5.4.

In the past I've used the Plesk backup utilities (psadump/psarestore) and had good luck with them.

Lately I saw a few posts on this forum suggesting to use the Plesk migration manager instead.

What are the differences between the two methods?

Which one is faster and more reliable for a full server migration?

Thanks.
