Question How can I restore a backup from server storage?

Basic Pleskian
Hi,

With Plesk Onyx -

When I back up a subscription I have the option to back up to "Server storage in /var/lib/psa/dumps" as opposed to FTP storage.

I want to restore from that backup to another subscription. Is that possible? it seems there are no options within either the server backup or the individual subscription.

Thanks,

Greg.
 
Backup of subscription is assigned to subscription's name. Therefore you can't restore such kind of backup to subscription with another name.
If you need to restore this backup on another server - you just restore it with original name of subscription and then rename this subscription as you want.
If you need to restore this backup on the same server - you need manually extract databases, web content, etc. from this backup like from archive and adapt it to your new subscription.
