Serverwide backup and restore of a specific account

[kaizer]

On our Plesk 10.3 server, I have set a serverwide backup of all accounts to a Personal FTP Repository. The jobs runs every night.

But if I want only to restore a domain, can I restore from this backupfile? (from Plesk control panel, WebGUI)

I am trying to find the best practice of setting up backup jobs. Any suggestions?

You can find table with possible objects for restoration here - http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...linux-advanced-administration-guide/68848.htm

Hello Igor,
that is the command line way of restoring objects.
But is this also possible when restoring in Plesk admin?

 

[IgorG]

When you go to Backup Manager interface and select server backup for restoration you will see following objects for restoration:

Server settings
Administrator account configuration
Administrator's domains
Administrator's customers
Resellers

Did you try it?

No, I haven't tried it yet.

I am trying to figure out how to set up the backup job on the server.
Serverwide backup file each night, or seperate jobs for each domains every night.

I believe the serverwide backup take less time and resource, than separate backup jobs. But again, a restore of a domain in a serverwide backupset takes longer time. (since the files are being copied from FTP repository)
