Backup from Win2003 to Debian 5.0

[vogelbecker]

Hello everybody,

i try to restore my backups from 8.6.0 created on Win2003 on my new Debian 5.0 server. It doesn't work. Backups on Win2003 are without any extention and the backupfiles from debian are .xml files. Do i have to convert these files?

Look at http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PPP9/Doc/en-US/plesk-9.3-migration-guide/63279.htm
It is impossible to restore backup from Win Plesk to Unix Plesk.

So, can you tell me how do i get my configuration and my files on my new server?

Sorry, my mistake. According http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PPP9/Doc/en-US/plesk-9.2-migration-guide/63279.htm it is possible only via backup/restore procedure.
Look at this guide for more details.

Runtime error: ('Top level is not multipart/related', 'text/plain')

Where is my problem?

I created a backup with this command:

D:\Program Files\Parallels\Plesk\admin\bin>backup.exe --batch-mode --config-file "e:\eins.psc"

I transfared it to my linux server and want to convert it so verison 9 with:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pre9-backup-convert convert -d /var/lib/psa/dumps /home/vogelbecker/psa.psa

I always geht this message:

Runtime error: ('Top level is not multipart/related', 'text/plain')

Greetings

It not looks like how it is described in the mentioned KB article. Please try to use recommendation from KB exactly.

Thank you for your help. I copied the converted backups to /var/lib/psa/dumps/ but i cant restore them because the plesk says: "This file is not a valid backup file."

Logs from /usr/local/psa/PMM/logs should be investigated for finding reason of this problem.
