Format My Server

I currently have 25 domains on my Plesk 8.0.1 box. I would like to backup and format this box and upgrade OS, then reinstall Plesk. Anybody have a good step by step of how to do this and not lose any data?

Also, I am moving from Fedora Core 2 to Suse 10. Any problems with doing this?

Thank you in advance.

With all the changes, I'd highly recommend doing a Plesk Backup of each of the domains. This way, those backups can be re-imported into the new system. Save your backups off via FTP on another server, then just copy them back once you get your new server built.

As a safe method, always see if you can "test" your planned solution with a test server to see if its going to work as planned.
 
So I would do an individual backup of each domain, and then on my new server (or test box) import them back in.

How do I import a domain backup into a new server?

Thanks,

Ted
