About Backup and Restore Utilities

In addition to the control panel's backup and restore facilities, you can use the pleskbackup and pleskrestore console utilities for backing up and restoring data from the command line.

The utilities are distributed as a part of Plesk software package, but are not installed by default. If you did not install them during installation of Plesk, use the Plesk Auto-installer to install them. During installation, they are placed to the directory /plesk_installation_directory/bin.

In order to work with the utilities, you should log in to the server shell as 'root'.
