Yeah
I understand what you mean about the "does it for me" thing. But I guess that's one reason I wanted a control panel for in the first place.
I have successfully done a psadump/psarestore in the past to move from one server to another, however, they were both running the same version of Plesk. I guess I will try the migration manager first to see how it goes...if that fails then I'll try the dump/restore option.
