  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Issue Server failure - Plesk backup restore process?

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Windows 2022

18.0.58
Hello
We've had a disaster with our windows server, we think a windows update corrupted the system. The data centre has spent the past few days trying to revive the OS, but we've had to start from scratch.
Our old server setup was:
x2 SSD drives in raid 0
Plesk backed up to another internal drive
Plesk domain root directory was on an NVMe drive

So the data centre has set up a new server with the backup drive and NVMe installed. I have all the files, but of course the MSSQL databases are in the Plesk backup drive.

What's the best way of restoring the Plesk structure and MSSQL databases ?

I can't see the backups at the moment in the new Plesk install, do I need to upload the latest backup_info xml file, I'm hoping this will restore the Plesk structure and allow me to access the backups and restore that way?
 
If you still have the full Plesk backup path, you could simply move the content into the current installation's backup path and backups should become visible in the Backup Manager again.
