How to bring back a full backup to a re installed server ?

[sebm77]

Hello,

I'm trying to make a test of full backup, I've made on a test from a plesk 11.x server a full FTP backup (150go transfered ok) and I've made like if my box was crashed and that I've to restart from scratch... I've reinstalled a fresh Plesk 11.x, then put the FTP settings. I can see the backup on the FTP and when I'm trying to re import it from the FTP to the server, it start the transfert and it is crashing the server because I guess it is fulling the tmp partition ... or something like that ...

How can I restore a full FTP backup of 150go ?

Thank you for your help !

Alternatively,

Login to SSH then:

cd /var/lib/psa/dumps

Then,

ftp yourftpbackupserver.com
....
get yourbackup.tar.gz

Once the download is complete, Un-Tar the backup file where you downloaded it to and that is /var/lib/psa/dumps then go to the control panel -> Tools & Settings -> Backup Manager ...You should see it there in the server resp.
