  • 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.

Question Speeding up migration

tkalfaoglu

Silver Pleskian
Hi there. I am going to migrate to another server since the old one is now 9 years old!
Same data center, so, a LAN transfer basically.. between two Centos plesk obsidians.
I intend to use the migration tool of course, but is there anything I can do to speed this up?
For example, can I do a preliminary rsync of all the /var/www/vhosts files ahead of time?
Does the migration tool use Rsync and would that rsync skip over the files that already exist? Would that help?

Otherwise, the 300+ customers on that server will sure be waiting for a long time for the migration to finish so I can change our DNS IPs to the new server..

Many thanks, -turgut

You could just start the migration job a d let it run through the day, and then re-sync everything once more after it finishes - resyncing only affects changed and added files, so it will be much faster.
 
Many thanks -- I'll do that.. I noticed how very very slow the migration was just now.. So I better start early..
I'll just rsync /var/qmail/mailnames afterwards again. -- I don't dare rsync the /var/www/vhosts as IP's are different and something might blow up..
