  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Restore from Plesk 8 to 9, problems?!

Hi,
2 days ago during 'routine' maintenance the company who host my root server screwed up, they had to re-image several servers for whatever reason!

Anyway, top and bottom of it is I have a backup file but it is not being recognised. I think I was on Plesk 8.0 when I took the backups.

I'm pretty sure they were done as 'domain' backups via the plesk CP.

So I uploaded the file and ran the command:-

/usr/local/psa/bin/pre9-backup-convert -v convert --directory=/var/lib/psa/dumps/ /root/mydomainbackup_file

This seems to work and I end up with several files nested below /var/lib/psa/dumps/domain/mydomain/

However, when I go to the new control panel I see my backup there with a red X and next to it

"The file is not a valid backup file."

I'm not sure where to go from here, does anybody have any suggestions?

Many thanks

Mike
