Last night I did a complete restore of my plesk configuration with the "pleskrestore" utility. Everything restored perfectly, except my MySQL database was missing about 1/3 of its tables.
The story starts out with a boneheaded rm -rf command that wiped out /lib on my 1&1 root server. After smacking my forehead and confessing my sins to my sysadmin brethren over AIM, I initiated a re-image of my server through the 1&1 admin site.
An hour later, I had Plesk grab a new license, upgraded from 8.0 to 8.0.1, downloaded my backup file, and initiated a pleskrestore with the "-level all" parameter. 30 minutes later, my server was up, my sites were back, and the database was restored.
Then I noticed that it was missing some tables. Luckily, I had downloaded a backup of the database through phpMyAdmin in the panic after the /lib incident. The tables that were missing where in the phpMyAdmin export, and it was basically the bottom 3rd of the database script. There was nothing else significant about these tables. They had been in existence for months. The database was about 5 megs in size.
So now I don't trust pleskbackup as far as MySQL databases go. I got lucky this time. Any thoughts?
