• Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

extracting data from password protected backup files

With reference to the methods described in this kb article:

and, perhaps related to:

https://talk.plesk.com/threads/plesk-12-x-x-backup-manager-encryption-security-issue.334691/

How would one go about manually extracting data from a password protected (plesk 12.0.18) full system backup? Assuming it's a tarball - would a password be introduced, somehow, as you untar the archive?

UPDATE (04 Oct 2015):

1. I have downloaded and successfully extracted data from a plesk password-protected full-backup tarball using an archive manager. I have yet to test a restore to plesk from the same.

2. I suspect the plesk password is a plesk validation it uses during the backup restoration process, though it seems there are ways around plesk password validation, as well (see "Uploading backup files without a valid signature"):
