Migrating backups

[DougCurtis]

I'm migrating sites from Plesk 9 to Plesk 12 using the migration manager. Since the migration manager doesn't migrate backups, are the backups compatible between Plesk 9 and Plesk 12? If so, is there an easy way to copy the backups in the correct directory structure since we are forced to use clients in plesk 12 and it changes the directory structure of the backups folders.

Thanks!

You can try just copy content of /var/lib/psa/dumps from source to destination. But do not forget about .discovered directories. Otherwise you will not see backups in Plesk UI.

I ended up writing a script that pulled the customer name for a domain and creating /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients/CUSTOMER/domains. Once I did that, I scp'd the site's backup dir from the old server. It appears in the backup manager on the new server.
