Plesk – Backup / Restore de 8.X a 9.X

You may migrate Parallels Plesk Panel as a whole or separate domains and clients. Below are
the instructions.
<strong>1. Migrate server</strong>
<strong>a.</strong> Login to a source server with Parallels Plesk Panel 8.6 installed
and create a full backup with the pleskbackup utility:
<strong>~# /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup all backup-file</strong>
The utility is included into the psa-backup-manager package for Plesk 8.6, verify
that it is installed.
In Parallels Plesk Panel 7.5 the command line backup
utility is  /usr/local/psa/bin/psadump that is included into psa-bu package.
If not installed you may install Plesk Backup Manager via Autoinstaller
in control panel Server - Updater
<strong>b.</strong> Copy the dump to the destination server with
Parallels Plesk Panel 9 and convert the backup to version 9 with pre9-backup-convert.
<strong>~# /usr/local/psa/bin/pre9-backup-convert -v convert
-d /var/lib/psa/dumps/ backup-file</strong>
Where /var/lib/psa/dumps/ is Backups directory on the destination
server with Parallels Plesk Panel 9.
This will create a number of backup XML files and subdirectories with
data under /var/lib/psa/dumps.
<strong>c.</strong> Login to Parallels Plesk Panel as administrator
and change to the server backup repository:
Home - Backup Manager - Server Repository
There is a list of backup files in the server repository.
<strong>d.</strong> Click the backup name to enter the Backup Details page.
<strong>e.</strong> Select the required restoration options and click Restore to start the restoration process.
Note: you should check the Administrator's clients option to restore
all clients and domains from the backup.
