Where does Plesk store its back-up files?

Kroptokin

Regular Pleskian
I am trying to restore a Plesk from backup

Unfortunately I cannot upload the 1 Gb file via the interface. (It could be an issue on the host's network or on the box or with my connection; I don't know).

However. I have been able to upload the file to the server via SSH.

The question is; where can I put it so that Plesk recognizes ir and it appears in the local storage of backups Panel?

Thanks
 
The root backup directory is stored in the file /etc/psa/psa.conf and is set by the variable DUMP_D:

# cat /etc/psa/psa.conf | grep -w DUMP_D
DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps

This directory contains server backups, backups of resellers, clients, domains, and daily MySQL dumps. Object backups are placed according to their ownership.
 
Thanks Igor

Am I on the right track. If I just move my (complete system backup file) there will Plesk just pick it up and I will be able to run the restore? Or do I need to do anything else?
