Restore backup via ssh/ftp from slaved HD

[eyekeeper]

Hello!

I have a dedicated server running plesk 8 and yesterday due to some misconfigurations I ordered at my host a server restore. They slaved my HD and recreated the installation for linux and Plesk.

My doubt is:

How do I restore data from the slaved HD into plesk? since the server is new and I hadn't performed a backup from plesk data so far I'd like to know if there is a possibility to recover this data.

Thanks

We have a script that runs a backup to FTP.

If you used pleskbackup these steps should help you.

Our steps of restoral are:

cd to a directory you want to copy the backup file

log into ftp or copy the file to a directory on your server.

use GET (FTP command) to copy the file into the current directory

get backupfile.name

Now, pleskrestore has a problem for us on a 1and1 server so we are only able to restore the clients. We cannot use the -level all option. Returns about 1000 liines of errors.

To restore clients/domains/ etc..., we use

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --create-map dump20060517.svr -map dump1

THIS CREATES THE MAP FILE

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --restore dump20060517.svr -level clients -map dump1

This restores the clients and all associated data.

You will need to restart apache and possiblly named before the sites will be accessible again. (at least we have to restart apache, anyway) Still don't understand why that still happens with Plesk. Been ongoing for a long time.
