How to attach Plesk server to Expand

[PaddingtonC]

I have a server running Plesk 8.6 which I need to get rid off. The reason is the drive on that old server is corrupt such that no backups are running at present. I have set up a new server with Plesk 9.5 but am unable to copy data from the old server to the new one. The Plesk 8.6 server is part on an expand hierarchy and I am considering manually creating the domains and then de-attaching the old server from expand, then attach the new one. I cannot upgrade my current server because if anything breaks I do not have backups. This is very urgent that I migrate to a new server.

My question is will expand accept these manually created domains since the old server was part of the expand hierarchy?

How else can I migrate the data across? Any advise is welcome.

How about a manual migration of data from the OLD server to the new server? Details here:
