System reinstall

[keff]

Hello,

I'm using Plesk on one of my servers. I would like to install it on
new Linux system Debian (right now it's running on Fedora Core 6). I
was wondering to do this i need:

1. To backup all my klient's I need do only:
/plesk_installation_directory/bin/pleskbackup --all <backup file name>
and send it to another server

2. Reinstall server with Debian

3. After sucessfully installing PSA on Debian need to install Plesk
Licence Key

4. Download backup files on server and then run:
/plesk_installation_directory/bin/pleskrestore --create-map <backup file name> -map <map file name>

and

/plesk_installation_directory/bin/pleskrestore --restore <backup file name> -level all -map <map file name>

Please correct me if I'm wrong. It is wery important to me. I'm doing
this first time and don't want to do something wrong.

Yes, it is correct way, but I recommend after creation backup to check it, that it will not corrupted.

This guid should help. Also you can restore backup only on the same version or later.

I have always used the plesk migrator to move between servers, it has worked very well for me with limited system interaction.

If I do Migration from one server to another. The all data on the source system stay on it ??

Yep. You can choose which accounts or domains are moved over, and then the files get copied over, the domains and client exists on both servers, etc

I've just started the migration So far it's going fine.
Thanks for the quick reply.

Just so you know, when it says its "done" its really not, it can take an hour or so including all the file transfers and depending on the amount of disk space, customers, domains, etc it has to do.

I see. The migration is in progress and it will take some time.
