• 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.

Will a Plesk 7.6.1 backup restore to Plesk 8.1

After the 4 days of downtime upgrading from Plesk 7.5 to Plesk 7.6.1, I am being very cautious about upgrading again.

Our server has never been right since that upgrade so we are wondering whether a backup of Plesk 7.6.1 will restore to a clean install of Plesk 8.1. Has anyone tried this?
 
I've restored from 7.5.1 backups onto a clean 8.1 install.

So far I haven't found any problems but I'm still at the testing stage - haven't put it into production yet, but it looks OK.

I'm going the route of migrating instead of upgrading for the same reason as you - you never know if the upgrade will fail and mess up your server.

I tried it on a virtual machine first then rented a dedicated server to try it for real.

Cheers,
Julian
