  • 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.

Disaster Recovery / Fastest Restore

Dear Plesk group,

I'm working on a plan for restoring my whole Plesk server fast in a worst case scenario.
Which will never happen hopefully. ;)

The backup is a full backup done by the Backup Manager in Plesk.
It lies on a remote FTP server.

Right now I'm fetching the whole backup directory with wget while in the background the Plesk Installation is running. These actions take about 1h to complete.

Afterwards I would restore with /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore.

Is there a better way? For example installing Plesk directly out of a full backup?

Thanks,
Chris
 
Thanks Igor! The tutorial describes how to restore if the old disk is still accessible.

What would be the way to restore a full backup created by the Backup Manager?
Doesn't the full backup also include all the information to restore the Plesk Panel itself?
 
Thanks! One last question. This command returns the following error:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --restore /var/lib/psa/dumps/backup_info_1504082311.xml -level server

PHP Notice: Trying to get property of non-object; File: /opt/psa/admin/plib/backup/Conflicts/PleskDataManager.php, Line: 173
PHP Notice: Undefined index: 178.13.239.166; File: /opt/psa/admin/plib/backup/Conflicts/PleskDataManager.php, Line: 180

I want to use the IP addresses of the old machine also on the new machine, so I don't need the map parameter do I?
I haven't created the network interfaces yet. Does pleskrestore need those to work properly?
 
I probably need to create a map with 178.13.239.166 shared -> 178.13.239.166 shared to make this work right?
