pleskbackup -c > reliable? What does it backup?

Hi there,

I'm going to be rsyncing all my user data independantly of Plesk. However I want to keep a backup of all the mail, domain and client data. I am assuming the -c command is what I am looking for.

So I ran pleskbackup -c all file.backup and it made a backup file. If the server were to crash, how would i restore it using this file?

Thanks.
 
I have never used it myself as all of our stuff is on a SAN which gets a snap shot done every so often, but I would imagine that it would go something like this:

Code:
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup -c all [/offsite/mounted/location/Full_Backup]

Code:
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --create-map Full_Backup -map Full_Backup_Map
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --restore Full_Backup -level all -map Full_Backup_Map
