How to upload or transfer backup files through the terminal, instead of using the panel.

Look at pmm-ras utility options with:

# plesk sbin pmm-ras --help

It may be something like:

# plesk sbin pmm-ras --import-file-as-dump --dump-file-specification </path/to/backup_info_<number>.xml.tar>

Got the following error

 

[IgorG]

Try to specify the full path to the file.

 

[Anoop]

its only uplaod backup or its restore automaically

 

[Bitpalast]

Got the following error

The "not found" error can be misleading. It is displayed, when the backup has been imported before, too. Please check your current backup list in your backup manager to verify that the backup does not yet exist there as a local backup.

The import only imports the backup so that Plesk knows that this backup set exists and displays it in your backup list. It does not restore anything from the backup.

 

[Anoop]

okay, its solved.

When we download a plesk backup, its as like backupXXX. tar or something like zip file. But when i check on local server, am not found a file like this. so can you please tell me how plesk manage backups files on local system

 

[Bitpalast]

A local backup consists of many single directories and files. What exactly would you like to do?

okay. From that how can i seperate a single account backup

1) Identify the path where your local backup structure is stored:
# grep DUMP_D /etc/psa/psa.conf
2) Descend to that path, for example
# cd /home/my_local_backup_storage
3) The data that is related to one specific user from your server is stored in the /clients/<user name> subdirectory. So its full path for the example would be
/home/my_local_backup_storage/clients/<user name>

so its included website files, mails and database

so its included website files, mails and database

Would looking into the structure yourself not be a great way to find out?

As per my inspection its on /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients/myusr.

but my usr is blank.

Entire full backups is showing on Plesk panel
