• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Using 7.5 Backups Incase Upgrade Fails??? Advice????

Is it possible to restore a domain and/or accounts based upon Plesk 7.5.4 backups to the latest Plesk? In case the upgrade fails miserably, I'm thinking about creating local backups of every website. That way, if it does, I can do a fresh install of Plesk 8.0.1 and then try and restore those domains. What do you all think? And, does anyone have any better ideas??? Thanks so much.
 
Use a PleskX.pl backup/migration agent from Plesk 8.1 or 8.0 - it is capable to backup 7.5.4 installations in such a way to restore them on 8.1 and 8.0 accordingly.
 
Ok, so this plesk.pl can backup the entire 7.5.4 data, websites and all, and reload it into the latest Plesk version if the upgrade fails and I end up having to uninstall and do a fresh install of Plesk 8.1? I want to make sure I'm following this right before I move into this course of action!!! Thank you so very much.
 
It depends on what you want to do in case of failed upgrade: rollback to 7.5.4 or install 8.1

In first case it's better to backup your 7.5.4 installation using 7.5.4's backup utilities. If upgrade fails - wipe out the system, install 7.5.4 and restore backup.
 
Well the overall goal is to get Plesk 8.1 running now that I have a key for that, while not losing or requiring all 70+ users and websites to be recreated and re-uploaded. So somehow I need to get from 7.5.4 to 8.1, and if the autoinstaller upgrade fails, my main concern is what to do to get from 8.1 and keep the data intact. If you could advise me of a direct course of action, I'd be indebted.
 
1. Extract psa/PMM/agents/{PleskX,shared} from psa-migration-manager-8.1 rpm or deb and place it on the source server in one directory
2. Run ./PleskX.pl -da --server -nz -o <backup.file>

Now you have a <backup.file> which may be restored by pleskrestore utility. You may test it if you have a spare server.
