  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Cpanel Backup To Plesk

Andrew_Pa

Regular Pleskian
Hello to everyone.

The Title is obvious for exactly what I need. I have a backup of a Cpanel subscription and I would like to migrate it to my Plesk server.

At cpanel I do not have power user access, so when I tried to use Migration Manager, I took error connection.

Is there any way to perform my task.

PS: The major problem is the email accounts and not the hosting files and database, which I can handle them....
 
Plesk differs from cPanel, as you could already figure that out by their structures. Plesk also handles some things different...e.g. parked domain in cpanel are alias domain in plesk. Anyway:

You need root access, which i doubt you have since your client is probably on shared hosting.

Anyway, you can move emails like this:

If you need help with email migration, please don't hesitate to ask.

Data and databases are easy when you do fullbackup. When you do it many many times like me, you will get used to it. Simple untar the fullbackup generated from cPanel -> enter directory. There you will find mysql folder where you can get list of all sql dumps. Also there is file called "homedir.tar" where public_html directory and all web files from cPanel are located. Usually I make new folder and move .tar there and unpack it. After that i move everything to the htttpdocs and import databases.
 
Thank you very much for your answer! I give a try to your instruction about mail! I other , as you said, are easy and I think I can handle them.

Anyway, I give a try and I will post about the results or the problems may have!

Thank you very much for your time!
