Question Unzipped Backup Problem

[Stone Fist]

I have a Plesk backup but it is not zipped as usually do. I zipped all those files as backup_info_1709131439.xml.zip but it gives the following error: Error: Unable to upload backup_info_1709131439.xml.zip to the server storage: Unable to import file as dump: The file you are trying to upload is not a valid backup file

Any help would be appreciated

Try to build backup file with the following method:

# plesk sbin pmm-ras --export-dump-as-file --dump-specification=backup_info_1709131439.xml --dump-file-specification=/root/backup.tar

plesk sbin pmm-ras --export-dump-as-file --dump-specification=backup_info_1709131439.xml --dump-file-specification=/root/backup.tar

Thank you for the answer.

My Plesk installed on a Windows Server 2016 and when I try to run this comand it says "'plesk' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.". Should I execute this line on a Linux system?

Also in this support article, it states that "A Plesk xml.tar backup file cannot be restored in Plesk for Windows Server." Even if succesfully build with this command I am not sure if I will be able to restore it on the Plesk for Windows.

I also installed Plesk on Ubuntu and run the command and got the following error
