upgrade from centos 4.4 plesk 8.1.1 to centos 5 plesk 9.2

[omar_armas]

Hi, I have a Plesk 8.1.1 Server with Centos 4.4 and want to upgrade it to Centos 5 final release and Plesk 9.2.
My question is, what is the correct procedure to do it preserving all the clients' information?

If I upgrade Centos release will Plesk continue working? Should I upgrade Plesk to a predefined version before?
Hope you can help me.

Ideally, get a 2nd server and use the plesk migration manager to do it. That would be the safest method allowing you to minimize downtime, and ensure everything was working correctly in advance.

If thats not an option, then I would back it up with the plesk backup utils, and an additional rsync snapshot just in case. Then re-image the box with centos 5 and restore the data.
