• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

retrieving backup data...

hi,

I was hosting a website which used Plesk as a control panel. (v8 and for Linux).

I backed up my site using Plesk control panel, and downloaded the backup files.

Now I want to retrieve all the data on my PC. But no zip software supports the file created by Plesk. Is there any utility tool to uncompress the data?

regards.
 
I think the plesk backup files are proprietary and you will need to restore them on another plesk 8 server...
 
I believe they are some kind of base64 encoded stream of zipped files. Or something. I believe it's possible to unpack those backup files, but it's not easy and likely requires multiple tools. No ready-to-go software. I don't have a link for you right now, but I believe I read somewhere once how to do it. Might have been for Plesk 7 though and they changed the format with Plesk 8.
