Plesk Restore

[WH7702]

Restoring Data From Backup Archives

To restore the server configuration and all user data from a backup file:

1 Log in as root to your server.

2 Change to the directory, where Plesk is installed:
cd /plesk_installation_directory/

3 Run the following command:
./pleskrestore --all <filename>

Where the <filename> is the path to backup file name. The data will be restored without disruption of hosting services and downtime. The server configuration settings and all user data (including the content of Web sites and messages in mailboxes) will be overwritten.



[root@localhost bin]# ./pleskrestore --all /root/plesk8-fullbackup-032906.psa
Unknown command: "--all"


Am I reading something wrong here?

 

[Bartoc]

It should be

./pleskrestore --restore --all <filename>

Appears to be an error in the documentation.

Help me

[root@lin1 bin]# ./pleskrestore --restore --all 2006-03-29
backup file is not readable
[root@lin1 bin]#
what must I do?

 

[Highland]

do a ls -la on your backup file. See if everyone has read permissions. If not, do a chmod 644 on it. See if that works

[root@lin1 bin]# ./pleskrestore --restore --all 2006-03-29

Run psa_install_dir/bin/pleskrestore --help.
First, create map file from backup
Second, run pleskrestore to restore your backup file.
Note, old backup files are not supported.
Note 2: Use correct file path for pleskrestore.

I'm not sure I understand...

Can you give us some example lines? I've tried several way to get it working with no luck. File permissions are 777.

Always seem to get:

backup file is not readable


Backup was created using and running plesk 8:

./pleskbackup --all /root/plesk8-fullbackup-032906.psa

HELP MEEEEE

 

[Bartoc]

I've been trying to restore a Plesk 7.5.4 backup that didnt upgrade to Plesk 8.0 properly all day.

I've come to the conclusion that Plesk 7.5.4 backups are not compatible with Plesk 8.0 even though on http://www.swsoft.com/en/products/plesk8/new/

it is stated :

"Now domains can be completely restored with the properties they had during the backup. New Backup utilities allow administrators to restore from any version of Plesk which can be valuable for migration/upgrades."

 

[Yujibey]

how can ı do this?can you say me?

 

[Bartoc]

Yujibey : I do not think it is possible just now. Sorry, I am trying aswell.

 

[Yujibey]

ıf ı will set up plesk 7,5,4 on this,and ı will restore,which problems will be happen?

 

[Highland]

I've heard from other users that 8.0 won't read 7.5.4 backups.

Sample restoration routine:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup --all BACKUP
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --create-map BACKUP -map MAP
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --restore BACKUP -map MAP -level all

Do not forget to read pleskrestore help

Backup Manager in Plesk 8.0 may backup any Plesk version, but can't restore backups made by Plesk 7.5.4 BU
