Question Moving Mysql/MariaDB databases to external server

chrisguk

New Pleskian
Hi,

I have until now the default mysql setup with Plesk for example the DB is defined as localhost. I have decided that I wish to move the whole database instance to another server for security and redundancy purposes.

Is there a guide available or do you have any guidance on how to move everything to a mysql standalone server? this includes the pleskdb itself (so everything)

Many thanks
 
You can add to Plesk and use external database server for user databases. But internal Plesk database 'psa' must be located only on local database server.
