failed migration data hidden and hogging disk space

[hepmepeas]

hello

about a year ago i tried multiple times to migrate data from one server to another (via PMM), and finally succeeded after about 5 or 6 times. however, i noticed right away that despite the failed migrations, the disk space on the new server had been eaten up to almost nothing, so at the minimum, all the failed attempts resulted in the data being stored in some temp directory(ies) on the server. problem is, i don't know where. can someone tell me the exact path where failed migration data would be located so that i can delete it? also want to make sure i don't foul anything up regarding the one successful migration, so if there's anything i need to know prior to just deleting data once it's located, i'd appreciate that info as well.

thanks in advance

Hello!

You could set up directories as described at documentation http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/Plesk8.2/Doc/plesk-win-pmm-guide/14404.htm

By default it is
on remote (source) host - it is drive of your temporary folder (usually :\PMMTemp )
on target (Plesk) host - <PLESK_DIR>PMM\Store

a bit confused:

and yet:

in any case, would those archived folders be the mysterious hidden failed migrations? also, is the one successful migration one of these files, or would it be safe to delete them all, if they are in fact, the failed migrations?

Do you migrate to Plesk for Windows or to Plesk for Unix?

 

[hepmepeas]

it was from one server with plesk windows 7.5(something) to another server with plesk windows 8.0.1.

Hello.

It seems like the Plesk for Unix migration archives are shown on the picture http://i3.tinypic.com/7wgb9g0.jpg . This is not related to PMM for Windows.
PMM for Windows doesn't use any hidden folders. In the default configuration all the migration data is inside 'c:\PMMDump' folder for a windows source server or under '/usr/local/PMMWin' directory for a linux server. On the target server with Plesk installed all the migrated data is inside '<PLESK_DIR>PMM\Store' folder.

Ok, my bad, let me reword that, I use a Plesk for Windows interface, but the server is Linux (both the from and to). I don't need any information about the server I migrated FROM (it's long since gone), just the server I migrated TO.

As far as the <PLESK_DIR> bit, I understand that's a configurable variable, but I didn't configure it, all default settings were utilized during the migration. I've done a locate PMM from root and have found no 'store' folder in any of the results. But it seems like those archive folders in the first screenshot are the culprits, as the mere sizes involved are the only explanation for the amount of space being used in the second screenshot.

Also 9.7 - (2.8 X 2) = 4.1, which is roughly the size I was expecting.


I appreciate everyone's help.
