Replicating a domain mail accounts from 9.3 to 9.3

[PedroC]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use pleskbackup and pleskrestore to copy mail account of a particular domain in a Plesk 9.3 server to a different Plesk 9.3. No data required, only login names, passwords, aliases, etc.

So in the source machine I run:
pleskbackup --domains-name <domain name> -vv --only-mail --skip-logs -c --output-file=<backup file>

Then on the destination machine, I create the map file, and then execute:
pleskrestore --restore <backup file> -level domains -filter list:<domain name> -verbose -debug -map <map file>

The restore says it was successful, but no accounts are added to the destination box. Is there anything I'm doing wrong, or is it just that this backup level won't include what I need?

BTW, the map file is something like this:

# Please review default IP addresses mapping below:
<source IP> shared -> <destination IP> shared

# NOTE : It's not recommended to modify this section
[<LOGIN>] # Owner account does not set.

<domain name> <destination IP>

I think that you may investigate all related logs after backup in /usr/local/psa/PMM/sessions/2010-02-xxxxxx directory first.

Thanks Igor, I'll check logs on both sides.

In the meantime, can you please confirm that the syntax of the above commands is ok and should copy email logins, passwords and aliases?

According to http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PPP9/Doc/en-US/plesk-9.3-backup-cli-guide/62007.htm

--only-mail option Backs up only mail configuration and content.

And I think that you shouldn't use '-level domains' for restore if you have backup only for one domain.
