Settings that Plesk does NOT backup up & restore

JulianP

Basic Pleskian
After a server migration, some critical Plesk settings were not copied across, even though the option to backup/restore panel configuration was used. e.g.

skeleton (vhosts\.skel folder)
php.ini (\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5* folder)
Default site (vhosts\default folder)
health config (\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\admin\conf\custom-health-config.xml)
Additional Administrator accounts

Is there a way to get these things to backup and restore that I am doing wrong?

Are there other important settings/data that I have missed from that list? I am still paying to keep the old server in case I discover something else!

Anyone using Plesk Backup & Restore for disaster recovery will lose these settings unless they take extra steps. e.g. I now have a simple batch file that copies these files to a private folder on one of the domains before the daily backup kicks in.

Thanks,
Julian
 
Should be in server backup and with migration of server settings:

skeleton (vhosts\.skel folder)
health config (\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\admin\conf\custom-health-config.xml)

Shouldn't be:

php.ini (\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5* folder)
Default site (vhosts\default folder)
Additional Administrator accounts
