Hello,
I had been using Plesk 9.5.x for quite a while. I recently switched web hosts and the new provider provisioned my server with Plesk 10.1.1. In the previous version of Plesk, if I needed to move data from my production server to my development one I would take a client backup, rsync the backup files from /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients to my development server. On the dev server, I would delete the domain I wanted to restore, go into the client control panel and go to the backup manager and restore the backup.
With Plesk 10, this doesn't seem to be an option any longer as it forces the customer account to be tied to a domain at the time the account is created. When I tried to restore my domain config, vhost content, mail, and databases, I received an error stating that the vhost was already their and it would not proceed.
I tried changing the domain that was created when the customer account was created and went back into the backup manager but then their were no client backups listed.
How are administrators and customers supposed to restore client backups in this new version of Plesk without running into the vhost already exists issue? I remember seeing this when I moved from Plesk 8 to Plesk 9 as I used to backup at the domain level, but doing it at the client level was the workaround in Plesk 9. What needs to be done in Plesk 10?
