• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Issue Restore my data on Plesk

Hi there!
I recently had a problem with my plesk server and the web interface doesn't open anymore (most of the important files are owned by nobody and I don't understand what happened).

I made a backup in cli via FTP to import the data in a new server that I deployed and I got a backup.tar file.

I used the command: plesk bin pleskrestore --restore “backup.tar” -level domains it takes a long time but I can't see the data being restored.

I also tried to unzip and I got multiples backup.tzst files. I used the same command with these files and I get this error :

Unable to import file as dump: Import error: Unable to find archive metadata. The archive is not valid Plesk backup or has been created in an unsupported Plesk version
exit status 1


What can I do?
 
I realized that.

I used the backup.tar file directly with the command :

plesk bin pleskrestore --restore “path/to/file/backup -ignore-sign -verbose -level domains

I was able to restore my data on the new server.

Thanks
