Plesk Restore Problems

[Archerford]

I'm having a problem restoring plesk from a ftp backup. I can go to the directory /var/lib/psa/dumps/tmp/ and watch the file download form the ftp backup server, yet whenever it file finishes downloading, the directory is cleared and I get a error message in plesk saying the restore file wasn't found.

Here are a few of the messages.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/psa/admin/share/supervisor/processor.py", line 116, in doActivityRunner
newState = self.doActivity()
File "/usr/local/psa/admin/share/supervisor/processor.py", line 308, in doActivity
localfh = localBackupFile.fh('wb')
File "/usr/local/psa/admin/lib/python/backup.py", line 260, in fh
return file(self.filename, mode)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/psa/dumps/tmp/restore_1/backup-file.001'

Do you have root access to the server with the repository? if so you could login in and WinSCP the file across to your new server. You could also just FTP tot he repository and download the backup file to your new machine, then try running the restore.

Just a thought, maybe having the single or multiple backup files copied to you machine is better than trying to get them through the FTP repository way???!?!?!

Just a thought (maybe the Plesk repository way doesn't work that well).
