plesk restore error:Unable to decrypt backup. Specified key is not suitable.

[Smashing]

I restore a server backup to a new server.
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --restore xxxxxx.20130401_info_1304011702.xml.tar -level server -map map_file
but it show error message:
Unable to decrypt backup. Specified key is not suitable.

I have the same problem. If I create a map file:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --create-map ./dump_file -map ./my_map.map
Unable to decrypt backup by specified key

If I start a restore, I get:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --restore ./dump_file -verbose -map ./my_map.map -level server
Unable to decrypt backup. Specified key is not suitable.

Is there a solution? My system:

- CentOS6
- Plesk Panel 11.0.9

Thanks for help.

Hi, is there no solution for this problem? All my nightly backups are not useable...

Greets, Philipp.

Have you created password protected backup? In this case use -backup-password option for restore.

Hi Igor,

I use the following command to create the backups:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup --server --output-file=/srv/datensicherung/backups/dump_file

I dont use the option "--backup-password"...

Thanks, Philipp.

I have make some tests and now I have a workaround.

Normally I dont use the password option, but If I set a password like this:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup --server --output-file=./dump_file -c --backup-password=tester123

And then I create a map with the password option:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --create-map ./dump_file -map ./my_map.map -backup-password tester123

It works and I get no more error messages.
But I think it is only a workaround not the solution,
because normally I dont use the password option to create
the backups...
