  • 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.

Restoring Plesk Server Backup

altec_lansing

Basic Pleskian
Hi,
I did a backup with
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup server --output-file=/backups/server_backup.tgz

After that i deleted some mail accounts and users and changed some file content, stuff like that, for testing the backups solution.

Restoring with:
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --restore /backups/server_backup_28_10_2011.tgz -level server -suspend -license

does not restore everything the way it was right before creating the backup.
The files i deleted are restored and so do sql tables.
But files i've edited are NOT restored.
After reading through the manual i'd say it's because of pleskrestore is not overwriting anything.

Having this as a standard behavior is ok, but how do i change that?
I know i have to add
-conflicts-resolution
to
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore
and right after that a file that describes the conflict resolution policies.

But what does that look like??
I want plesk to overwrite everything (and btw. to delete everything, that is NOT part of the backup)!

Thanks in advance,
altec
