Hi friends of Plesk,
i got a few questions, about the full server backup process in Plesk.
First of all, here is my setup and what i have done so far:
1. I scheduled a full server backup job in the plesk webinterface at 3am. So the system wrote many files to /var/lib/psa/dumps.
After i read a lot of documentations from plesk, i realised that this files are only in the "local repository". So if my Server crashs and i want to restore this files on a new server (with new installed plesk), i cant use them cause of the encrypted passwords.
Is this right?
2. So i must do a Fileexport (i try the fullbackup.php script (Plesk Server Backup Script).
If i create a BackupFile with this Syntax:
./fullbackup.php -b -o /var/plesk_fb/test/ -p test1234
The Script writes a small fullbackup_171026, and a big file called server_171026 without a filetype at the end.
So, is this a Backupexport File, and when yes, which one of this 2 files can i upload at the new Server?
The other Methode is, do create an export for the local repository files:
./fullbackup.php -e /var/lib/psa/dumps/backup_info_{ymd}{time}.xml <output_file>
Which one is the right way? Maybe iam doing it to complicated.
Would be awsome if someone got a few tips for me!
Thank you,
Maximilian
