• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Installing Old Backups???

How can I install Backups that were made with the Backup features of 7.5.4 onto a fresh installation of Plesk 8.1? We are worried about the upgrading procedure and hope that we can create backups of everything that will be able to be utilized in the event we have to do a fresh installation. Any advice please? We're upgrading two machines running FreeBSD 4.11 and Plesk 7.5.4. We've tested the upgrade process on home machines, it failed twice and worked twice... Just want to have a backup plan in place of a botched upgrade. Thanks so much.
 
Backups made with Plesk 7.5.4 are not compatible with 8.0 and I would guess, 8.1. But you can download the backup agent from http://www.swsoft.com/en/download/plesk/utilities/ which will allow you to make compatible backups on your 7.5.4 box.

That said, I have not done that myself, but others on this forum have and said it worked.
 
so this backup agent creates backwards compatible (all versions) backups eh? Supposedly any way? Is that what I'm understanding? There's no documentation with it so...
