pre9-backup-convert.exe = 0Bytes :(

[FirstGD]

Hi, I’ve just installed Plesk 9.0 and pre9-backup-convert.exe is showing as 0 Bytes and says "This is not a valid Win32 application" when run.

I don’t really want to have to reinstall Plesk again, any one able to provide a link where i can obtain the EXE ?

Kind Regards,

Adam

Found the EXE in CAB file 833 if anyone has the same issue.

Running her now, Any ideas on how long this will take on a 2.25GB PSA file ?

Dear oh Dear, Why is it that Parallels never test anything before releasing it to the Public??

I have a customer for over 4 years and have never seen anything quite like the shambles that is Plesk 9 !! The backup and restore manager is a total joke. I have spent all day trying to install an 8.6 backup to 9 and whatever i do fails.

I have converted the PSA files to XML files, yet see this file is not a valid backup file in the GUI. Trying the CLI reports:

Backup file has wrong signature for this server
Backup file has wrong format
Dump has critical errors.

info.xml in the PSA does not show the news line i am meant to remove, so i assume its not there.

The only thing i can do is upgrade the server with 8.6 on to 9.0 and then transfer to the new server. (If it works) or pay for support...

Unless i have missed something?

Sorry for the rant just annoying!

I'm having the same error converting 8.6 to 9.5. Converted the .psa backup using pre9-backup-convert and Backup Manager shows "This is not a valid backup file".

Using pleskrestore I get:

Backup file has wrong format.
Dump has critical errors.

The log file contains:
