Upgrade 7.5.4 to 8.1 - FreeBSD

horosho

New Pleskian
What's the best way to do this? I noticed the 8.1 docs recommend starting with a clean install. I have two servers I need to upgrade, one running FBSD 4.9, one 5.3. Here's what I'm thinking:
Upgrade the OS (to 4.11 & 5.4 respectively)
Upgrade Plesk to 8.0
Upgrade the OS on the 5.4 system to 5.5
Upgrade Plesk to 8.1
Do complete server backups
Restore the backups to fresh installs of FBSD 6.1
Any thoughts on whether or not this is the best way to do this? Will backups from older OS versions restore to newer os versions running the same Plesk version?
