Hi
I am trying to restore a backup file to in 8.0.1 that I saved in 7.5.4 , but everytime I upload plesk say this is not a backup file..

Does anyone know a way round this?
 
hi roosta,

if you have any luck with this, would you mind sharing??
i am also at the same joint.
i have even tried commanline ./pleskrestore to restore a backup of plesk8.0, ...error....
 
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, wish I thought of that.

What I ended up doing was ftp all the vhost to my local coumpter, ftp the mysql folder. Then made sql backup of the sites.

It was a hassle, hoping in the future the backup function will save me sometime.

I have heard comment the backup is unreliable does anyone have experience of this?
 
I haven't had problems with the backup utilities being unreliable. I have read of bugs but haven't experienced any, thankfully.

I think the problem most people have is that they don't downgrade to the next version. 8.0 is supposed to be able to import 7.5.3 backups but I think it's with a new script I'm not familiar with (I don't really keep up).. It's easy enough to downgrade and then upgrade anyways, so I do it that way to avoid problems with the newer/unfamiliar scripts. :)
