Question Plesk restore backup taking too long

Nilton Santos

Basic Pleskian
Hello,

I have many clientes using Plesk Onyx 17 with big backup files, like 10GB 20GB 40GB and so one...
When I try restore this backups take too long, because plesk download all Backup to local server to restore.

There is another option to restore without download all backup file?
 
Actually downloading them is the fastest way to do it, because they are still in zipped (compressed) format at that time. Imagine if you uncompressed them first, then downloaded the expanded files - that would even take longer.

10 GB, 40 GB - that's nothing. Think in dimensions of 200, 300, 500 GB per restore, then we are talking "long time". Just make sure that your server network speed and the FTP storage server's is high, so that the transport time is minimized. Then, a fast CPU and fast hard disks can greatly speed up unpacking the files, too.
