  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

Question Restore full host backup on host with new IP address

Hi there,

My question is theoretical as I'm thankfully not in the situation of having to restore a backup at that point. Still, I'm just wondering what approach I'll have to use.

I understand that Plesk offers various commands to backup, restore, migrate a Plesk installation. In my particular case, I'm not using those. I'm running Plesk in a LXC container so the easiest way to do a backup is to simply make a full container backup. I guess you can look at it as a full host backup.

So, I guess it's easy enough to restore from a backup if all remains the same. But what if, for example, I have to restore it to a host with another IP address? What additional steps will be necessary?
