Restoring Emergency Backup

[MiguelK]

Hello there,

After some server problemas, I have saved my last backup files on an FTP server, formated my server and installed everything again.
My old plesk server version was 9.5.. Now I am using Plesk 10...

How can I restore the backup?
When I try, via CLI, I get the message "Error: Dump does not exist in repository".

Are there a way to solve this?

Thank you very much,

Miguel Koscianski Vidal

Did you configured FTP repository as it is described here http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...US/online/plesk-administrator-guide/59259.htm

After that try:

Same problem here. Unpacked the old plesk 9 back with /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --create-map /root/backup_1011201441.tar -map map.txt - it shows up in server resp, cant restore it then because theme "vista" doesnt exist anymore.

Getting it proper with pre10-backup-convert does not work, too: Quitting with php error PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function getAttribute() on a non-object in /opt/psa/admin/plib/backup/Converter/Panel10.php on line 143

Pandur2000:
Since I have an web server with many clients that need the service, I can't sit down and wait for an answer...
First I have tried to restore each domain individually... One by one... Using 'tar xf file' to unpack and 'cp' or 'mv' to send the files to the web-site folder... It's a hard job... =/ But solved partially my problems...

Later I realized that the best solution was either buying a new server or formatting the old one and reinstalling the Plesk 9.5... This is faster than waiting any answer... =/ (as you can see, 11 days without any answer)

If you ask me what to do, I will ask you back: "how much it costs to you? how important?"
After all the problems, the best solution was a new server... And it's what I suggest to you...
In 2 days I have got my server back with all my domains working... Fully configured, secure, etc..


I hope you solve all your problems faster than me...
If you need another help, please call me..

Cya,

I found a little workaround.

- Download the Backup TAR from FTP on your shell.
- use pleskrestore to create a map, in this step the program will untar the backup into the server-repo, too
- the backup shows up ion webfrontend as server-global backup
- Now, 1st, all Domains from the backup that were Administrator's accounts can be restored via webfrontend, EXCLUDE ALL except Domains from Administrator

- For EACH customer from PLesk 9 you now have to create a new customer. You may give them a fake domain suscription for starting over, like test.com . THen, add suscriptions = old domains by hand. After that, they will have the server-repo-backup of theit "new" domain in their plesk customer panel, form there the backup can be used. Remember to delete the template files in the vhosts/domain/httpdocs folders like plesk index.html , /test and so on.

This worked fine for me, thus, it was much work.
