General Information
Plesk Migrator is a tool that Plesk provides for migration to the latest Plesk versions.
It has pre- and post-migration checks, error reporting features, allows to re-sync data between an old and a new server after migration to make migration to Plesk an easy process.
Plesk Migrator can be also used for upgrading Plesk to the latest version (Upgrade by transfer): Upgrade by transfer is the process of switching to the latest Plesk version by moving all hosting data and settings from the current Plesk server to a server with the latest version installed. Upgrade by transfer also allows you to minimize the downtime of services on the production server, as websites stay online while the transfer is in progress. During the migration process, data on the source server (Subscriptions', Customers' data, etc) will not be changed or removed as well as all services will be running.
