I have just taken over as Systems Administrator at a hosting company.
They are using plesk Version 8 on Linux.
I have been given the task of restoring the backups that have been previously created.
I have had no experience with Plesk and therefore not having much luck so far.
We do have support with them, however i'm still waiting to hear back from them
So i wanted to see if you guys would help me out in the meantime.
The Backup procedure that is being used is:
Run this command to create backup.
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup --all /backup/backup_host04-8.0
This creates a file about 6gig.
Then to restore i am trying this:
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --create-map /backup/backup_host04-8.0 -map map.txt
creates the map file.. it seems all good... IPs are Correct...
Then i Run:
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --restore /backup/backup_host04-8.0 -level all -map map.txt
The error comes back and says
'backup file un-readable'
I changed permissions to 777 to test, made no difference
Can anyone offer another method... or something i'm doing wrong? (Apart from the OS that is currently being used)
The Server is currently on Fedora Core 2...
i want to upgrade to CentOS...
this is the reason for the testing of backups
I am rsyncing the backups from the Live server to a Test Server, will this cause any problems to the file?
