• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Problems with manually extracting httpdocs for a domain from Plesk 9.5 backup

PaddingtonC

Basic Pleskian
Good day,

I am having problems manually extracting domains from Plesk 9.5 backup that was FTPed onto my back up server. I have followed the article http://kb.parallels.com/en/1757 using method 2. The problem is here:
# zcat DUMP_FILE.gz > DUMP_FILE

My backup file CP_1204131759.tar is a tar archive and zcat does not work with it. So I proceed to cat CP_1204131759.tar > CP_1204131759.

But when I try # cat CP_1204131759 | munpack
I get an error that munpack did not find anything to read from standard input.

I went on to extract the tarfile and got a lot of files similar to this:
CP_sapp-distrib.7686-0_1204131759.tgz CP_sapp-distrib.7686-35_1204131759.tgz CP_sapp-distrib.7686-6_1204131759.tgz

How best can I extract the httpdocs of a domain from this serverwide Plesk backup?
