I’m trying to perform data migration from server to server.
My hosting provider allow me a personal FTP to backup all my server data everyday.
I just installed the new server with a Plesk 11 panel manager as the old one (same version).
Now I want to use personal FTP to transfer data (databases, websites, domaines configuration) and get it in the new server.
I did the first part (transfert from personal FTP with ncftp) with success.
Now I have a .tar file (15 GO) containing all my data from the old server, I put it in /var/lib/psa/dump, But I can’t find it in Plesk backup manager to perform restore action.
can I do it otherwise ? or Am I messing something here ?
Thank you very much.
Update: I’ve used migration tool of plesk (dont need to use backup files anymore) 🙂

Here the simple content of this folder:
