Backup file is >2GB, upload through Plesk issues

[rick.pri]

I'm guessing that there is no way to use the Backup manager to upload and automatically convert a .psa from a v8.3 version of Plesk to Plesk 10.2 as you get the usual HTTP Error 404.13.

This is using IIS 7.5 in 32bit mode.

Yes, I have done that, however, I can't increase this value over 2GB.

Look at this article http://kb.odin.com/en/8277

I am moving from v8.3 of Plesk Panel to v10.2 and that article relates to v9 of Plesk Panel.

Splitting of huge backup files does not depend on Plesk version.

 

[rick.pri]

The article seems to imply otherwise:

"In Parallels Panel 9 a new backup option were[sic] added - "-split"."

Actually, I found:

http://www.tophost.gr/docs/plesk-8.3-unix-backup-restore-guide.pdf

So I can use -s instead of -split to do the same job.

Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction Igor

/plesk_installation_directory/bin/pleskbackup --clients -l=<file name> <backup file name> --exclude-file <file name> -v -s=500M

Does this look right?

Edit: The examples aren't particularly good for what I want to do, as you should be able to tell from the above command line.

Edit 2: Also, I'm not sure what the format should be for the exclude file as I want to back up multiple clients but exclude some individual domains in those clients.

 

[rick.pri]

Okay so:
plesk_installation_directory\pleskbackup --batch-mode --config-file="C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Desktop\test.psc" -s=500M

That doesn't work as the flies don't split.

And:
plesk_installation_directory\pleskbackup --clients-file="<file path>" --dump-file="<file path>" --exclude-file="<file path>" -s=500M

Doesn't work either as nothing is backed up
