Importing Data From Linux/Unix-based Servers

To transfer your data using the data import function:

  1. Locate the following folders on your Parallels Plesk Panel 9 server, and copy all files from them to a single directory on the server, from which you want to transfer data.
  2. On the source server, run the PleskX.pl utility with the appropriate command line options:
  3. Once all the required files are created, open the file content-list.xml to see what files were created. Move all these files, including dump.xml, to the destination server.
  4. In a Web browser, log in as administrator to your Parallels Plesk Panel, go to Home > Migration Manager (in the Help & Support group), and then click Start Migration.
  5. Select the option Transfer data already processed by the migration agent and located on the local host.
  6. In the Migration data file location box, type the path to the directory where you saved the data at the step 3.
  7. Click Next >>.

    If the XML file with information about business objects of the source host is found in the specified directory, then the data import starts.
