How to backup plesk 10

Webroy

Regular Pleskian
Webmasters,

How do you make a complete server backup?

I am testing the plesk 10 backup options like:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup server -c --skip-logs --output-file=/backup/pleskbackup.tar -vvv

unpack it in the /var/lib/psa/dumps and import it in plesk i.c.m. rsync and tar.

But that gives errors like chaning passwords and not keeping password protected directories. ( Ticket is submitted @ plesk)

I looked at clonezilla but they need a offline server to backup it complete .

Any other options?
 
I do not understand why you use pleskbackup utility and do not use standard plesrestore utility but use described complex backup restoration method?
 
Hi igor,

I restore the configuration with plesk ( no external programs but yours used). but without the content which i backup with rsync.

When i do a full backup of a server with content he gives more then onze errors on domains and without content the making of the backup works fine
 
When i do a full backup i get a lot of errors like:
</object>
<object name="domain.com" type="domain">
<object name="domaindb" type="mysql">
