Question Plesk backup compatibility across hosting providers

M

Mark McGinty

New Pleskian
What are the chances a Plesk backup (of multiple sites and databases) created on one hosting provider (A2 for example) could be restored on a different hosting provider (like GoDaddy?)

(You may have heard about the unfortunate catastrophe at A2? This would be fallout from that.)

My educated guess would be no... I have separate backups of my WordPress sites, created by a plugin, that I know will work, and I can easily republish the code for my .Net sites... my only remaining classic ASP site might take a bit of fiddling... or maybe I will retire it. Then I'll have to restore the SQL backups and dump them to script or something...

So not a catastrophe if it won't, just another very long night. :)

TIA
