Is it just me, or does pre9-backup-convert not handle mailing lists?
I'm trying to migrate a Plesk 8.3 server to one with Plesk 9.x, and I'm following the instructions in the KnowledgeBase: http://kb.odin.com/en/5864. The problem is that if the domain dump contains any mailing list archives, pre9-backup-convert outputs an error "Unable to determine type of cid at element 'maillist'" and then dumps the mailing list archive to converted_<domain>_unknown_<date>.tgz. (If the domain has multiple mailing lists, it overwrites this file with each one.) The resulting Plesk 9 backup file cannot be restored. You get "Backup file has wrong format
Dump has critical errors."
You don't see this if the mailing list has no archives, or at least if nobody has ever posted anything to the mailing list.
