• 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.

My hosting company contacted me and told me my server was attacking other servers. In short, my server needed to be restored and all files had to be SLAVED.

Now EV1 (my host) is telling me I need to recover all the files before they remove their other drive.

Can anyone help me do this? I want to make sure I don't lose any files.. that includes, emals, mysql, etc.

You may copy the following directories, to preserve data from Plesk:

/var/qmail - emails
/var/lib/mysql - databases

From /etc/psa/psa.conf you also may know:
HTTPD_VHOSTS_D - virtual hosts
DUMP_D - backups
MAILMAN_ROOT_D - mailing lists

Copy them preserving permissions/owners, but drop suid bits

also I recommend to review and copy /etp/{passwd,shadow,group,gshadow}

And anyway you need to know how exactly your server attacked another servers - there is a big chance that malicious scripts/exploits are among the data you triyng to save...
 
I would recommend omitting to carry the contents of the queues in /var/qmail/queues (?).
