Can't Backup

scottlpool2003

Basic Pleskian
Trying to migrate to a new server, can't backup the server or individual domains or even mail configuration/content due to this error:

Warning:server "server"
Cannot backup domain 'domain.com'[Data at the root level is invalid. Line 4, position 1.]

There's not much of a hint at what it could be, any ideas?
 
Thanks Dmitry, I wasn't sure where the backup log was. Here is the segment with the error:

Now check also %plesk_dir%\admin\logs\php_error.log
I suppose you should see there some errors for backup_restore_helper utility called with parameter --backup-subscription or --backup-site
 
I can't see anything that stands out. Also, can't find anything related to 'backup-subscription' or 'backup-site'

I'm probably better off manually transferring everything as this has already taken up 2 full days trying to get a backup.

Thanks for your help.
