How to migrate Plesk data manually

[ProWebS]

Hello,

we have a plesk 9.5 server which for an undisclosed reason is not respoding to ssh or any other access and our DC cannot fix it.

We can login via Recover and mount the hard disks into a directory , and so we can find all the Hard Disks data with plesk and all the websites databases as they were before.

We will setup a new server and do a fresh plesk 9.5 install,
but my question is how to re-create the accounts from the previous server
(in which we only have access to the data and cannot run/start plesk) ?

Is there any way ?

Being a very old thread, I presume you no-longer need help with this ...

However, in such situations (if you are lucky) you will find some backups at /var/lib/psa/dumps/. If you move those backups to the freshly installed server, plesk should restore all the data based on those backup files ..

Then to get the actual files right before the server went down, you can just do a replacement of of /var/qmail/mailnames/* to the new server and the same for the respective domains data at /var/www/vhosts/domains/httpdocs/* ..

Hope this helps some one in this situation!
