  • 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.

Mail Backup Problem

Hi,

I did a backup with plesk backup utility. After restore process, my e-mails are included but old e-mail messages does no appear. Whe i look at backup file on folder MailContent, i see the messages files like:

Msg1.msg
Msg2.msg
...

if plesk is not restoring, how can i restore it? I have 5000 mails that need to be restored.

Thanks!!
 
I suspect that mail servers on the source and target servers are not the same
it is only possibly to restore with different Mail servers on from Plesk 8.3 to Plesk 8.3
 
How are encoded the .msg files ?

Plesk 8.3 windows on w2k3 with MailEnable

In the backup (the .psa file) we can extract every files (html, jpg etc) without problem.
But emails are .msg extensions (not .mai) and their content are encoded in a unreadable format.

Exemple : msg22.msg
xœì½Y“ãH–.ÖÓwæöíÂÂd¦½ÉÄÉ

Can someone help me to know how to restore some backuped emails ?

Thanks !
Francois

I don't know if i'm on the good way but I tried
C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\admin\bin\BackupUtils\PSAMailrestore.exe --dump="c:\temp"
says
"Warning:Accounts are not given. Please enter valid accounts information manually"
and if i specified the account file (i don't know what it is...) (event if I put all possible access to the folder)
--account-file="c:\temp"
Error:Access to the path 'c:\temp' is denied.
--account-file="c:\temp\doc.txt"
Error:Root element is missing.
That's where I am for now...
