How to convert old version of the Plesk backup to the Plesk 10 version ?

[AngelsV]

Hello,

I have taken the psa backup of one server. But it failed while converting the .psa backup to .xml format. I have tried with pre10-backup-convert.exe. Please advice.

Could you please be more specific? What sort of error you have with pre10-backup-convert.exe ?

Hello,

I am getting the error as Unknown command --source. Can you provide me the correct command to covert the backup so that I can proceed further.
