Restore backup

[Manuel_Caramia]

Hi, I am desperate.
I update the backup of whole server (the file is .xml.tar)
Now how can I restore all my domains, server.configuration and so on?

Hi Manuel_Caramia,

please read the Plesk 12 documentation and don't hesitate to ask questions, when you are stuck somehow at some point:

Restoring Data from Backup Archives ( Plesk 12 online documentation )​

Hi UFHH01 it doesn t help me. THIS is my problem. I have uploaded the backup in Var/lib/psa/dumps because the backup is more than 2gb. If I open backuo manager of plesk I dont see the backup. The name is .xml.tar How can I restore all from SSH or backup manager. Help me please my sites are down from 3days

Hi Manuel_Caramia,

Parallels provides as well a documentation for all cli commands ( Reference for Command Line Utilities, Parallels Plesk 12.0 for Linux ).

The direct link for the Restore documentation over the command line is: Restoration from Backup ( Plesk 12 online documentation )

The guide says that I must create a map to restore. What path I must write? Thankyou

Hi Manuel_Caramia,

please have a look at:

[How to] I am restoring Plesk backup with Plesk Backup Manager. What is the map file and how do I use it correctly? ( KB - article 6164 )​

The server is the same and also ip. Now I have a new erorr:

[root@orderhosting ~]# /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --restore /var/lib/psa/dumps/Backup_per_ripristino_info_1502182203.xml.tar -level server
Unable to import file as dump: The file you are trying to upload is not a valid backup file

Hi Manuel_Caramia,

[How to] Backup is shown as invalid in Parallels Plesk interface. How can I verify it? ( KB - article 6080 )​

Hi Manuel_Caramia,

you mean, that you are unable to UNTAR a file?

tar -xvf FILENAME.tar

If you don't have the program "TAR" on your system, please install it, using "yum" or "apt-get" ( http://lmgtfy.com/?q="Linux"+"TAR"+"install" )​

 

[Manuel_Caramia]

If I untar the backup then I have two folders:
[root@orderhosting dumps]# tar -xvf Backup_per_ripristino_info_1502182203.xml.tar
dump-header
dump-index
now? I dont see a file .xml

 

[Manuel_Caramia]

Help me please all my domains are down and clients are hungry

Sorry Manuel_Caramia,

but you should either consider opening a support ticket at: Parallels - Support

... or you should consider to hire a linux administrator for detailed, personell step-by-step guides. By reviewing my posts, I think you got enough hints and links to proceed with the restore of your backup.
