restoring Plesk 6.x backup on Plesk 8.01?

[rihad]

Our 6.x based server is unusable due to disk errors, so we need to restore its Plesk backup on another 8.01 server (that already has domains - so they will need to kind of coexist). Possible? If yes, how? If not, how can I _do_ it? Thanks.

Anyone? I need to do something really soon I've found this KB entry regarding how to restore a 7.5 backup on 8.1: http://kb.odin.com/en/1727
So I assume 6.x -> 8.01 jump would be even more hassle? BTW I don't even have the /usr/local/psa/bin/backup-convert utility.

Trying to restore the 6.x backup gives this error:

# /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --restore /var/local/backup.lkg -level all -verbose
Required option "-map <file>" is not set
#

I'm missing this file on the original server! How can I recreate it, albeit manually? In what kind of format is it? Thanks for any tips in advance.

OS: Debian 3.1
Plesk: 8.01

OK, this is how a mapfile must be created:

# /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --create-map /var/local/backup.lkg -map map
The document has the wrong type, root node is <psa>, but <migration-dump> was expected

There seems to be a problem working with 6.x backups Isn't there a workaround? Like unpacking the archive and importing it manually?

OK, to cut the long story short: I've managed to copy (most part of) the bad disk to a new one and boot. Everything seems to start up fine (Apache, MySQL, Qmail, ...). But some domains are fully or partially missing some data. So I wanted to restore it from backup. Alas...

There's indeed no /usr/local/psa/lib/perl5/BU/PSA/Init.pm
Please advise to me where to get one.
