Plesk not seeing backup in /dumps/ folder

[Decius]

Hi there,

As per http://kb.odin.com/en/5969, I copied the contents of the dump folder from one server to the other.

i cannot use the migration manager because the old server is having disk issues.

When I move the contents of /var/lib/psa/dumps from the old server to the new one, I do it exactly as it is in the old one. I chown and chmod the entire directory to psaadm, 777.

When i go into the new server and try to restore the data, it has no idea the data exists - it says "no backups".

What is happening?

This was remedied by updating to the latest plesk version.

In addition, the .discovery folder was not transferred from the old server, for some odd reason, so I manually did that.

So it could have been either issue, but it worked after that. I now have version 9.5.
