Plesk Moving Servers Help

Posted by Celeborn, 01-10-2008, 10:28 AM

Hello all, Long story short, my web host is unreliable and after a down period of 3 days - I want to move my website to a new dedicated server. Old Server - Fedora Core 6 with Plesk 8.1 (64 bit) New Server - Cent OS 5 with Plesk 8.0 (Still to confirm version) My problem is how to transfer all data from one server to the other? The most important item to backup are the emails, and the rest I can do manually. Ideally I would want to backup the entire server in a one, and upload it to the new one but I doubt that will be possible. Can anyone lend me assistance on this? Thanks

If you know Plesk just generally and want to have a "clear" transfer without any more "bumps" i suggest you hire someone to do the transfer for you. As an idea you could use the Migration Manager to do the migration from one server to the other one. Anyway, Plesk is a nice looking control panel but the administration part is not so easy as it looks .
