DRYALLS
Mar 15, 2009, 05:36 PM
I'm attempting to move from a RHEL3 PLESK7.5.4 to a CentOS 5.2 PLESK 9.0.1. The 2 servers have different license keys [if that makes any difference].
All commands were issued from the new server. PLESK 7.5.4 was running but I had disabled one client called 'Sam' and ensured that all the domains that belonged to 'Sam' were giving 404 errors. I wanted to ensure that all other clients were still able to run their sites, while I exported one client at a time.
Everything has run fine, I haven't seen any error messages, but it all fails at the last hurdle, after over 5 hours. :(
ssh root@oldserver '/usr/local/psa/bin/psadump -f - --clients-logins=/root/sam --nostop | split -b1000m - dump.'
#/root/sam is a file containing one line, which is the word 'Sam'
cat dump.* >dump75
/usr/local/psa/bin/backup-convert --verbose convert --output dump8 dump75
/usr/local/psa/bin/pre9-backup-convert -v convert --directory=/var/lib/psa/dumps dump8
#At this point I have still had no errors. Lots of output, but no errors
cd /var/lib/psa/dumps
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --create-map converted_info_0903152056.xml -map Sam.map
#Sam.map looks fine, I edit the gloabal ip section to insert the new IP address to replace the old
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --restore converted_info_0903152056.xml -map Sam.map -level clients -verbose
After all that, I get the following output
Backup file has wrong format
Dump has critical errors.
In PLESK GUI, Backup Manager, the converted_info_0903152056.xml file is listed, but the Comments column says:
This file is not a valid backup file.
Can anybody help please?
Edit: Amended item 1 to include nostop parameter.
