Migrating from Expand

Plesk Migrator enables you to migrate hosting configuration and data
from Plesk Expand. The following settings, objects, and data are
migrated:

• Reseller and customer accounts, as well as their subscriptions, are
  created on the destination server, along with all the domains, addon
  domains, subdomains, and domain aliases. All the corresponding
  settings are migrated as well.
• Hosted content, such as databases, mail, and websites’ content is
  also migrated.

When migrating from Expand to Plesk, objects in Expand are converted
into corresponding Plesk objects according to the following rules:

• Expand resellers are converted to Plesk resellers.
• Expand clients are converted to Plesk customers.
• Plesk resellers from Plesk servers managed by Expand are not
  migrated.
• Plesk clients from Plesk servers managed by Expand are converted to
  Plesk customers.
• Plesk clients owned by Expand clients are converted to Plesk
  customers.
• Plesk domains from Plesk servers managed by Expand are converted to
  Plesk subscriptions.

When migrating from Expand to Plesk, keep in mind the following
limitations:

• Auxiliary users and auxiliary roles from centralized mail servers are
  not migrated.
• Expand service templates are not migrated.
• Unix to Windows migration does not work for centralized services.

Also note that you can only migrate from Plesk for Linux servers
registered in Expand to another Plesk for Linux server. The same applies
to Plesk for Windows servers. Thus, if you have both Plesk for Linux and
Plesk for Windows servers registered in your Plesk Expand installation,
you will need to run two migrations: one for Linux, and one for Windows.

If you are migrating from Expand to Plesk for Linux

1. Log in to the destination Plesk server via SSH.

2. Make sure that Plesk Migrator is installed. If it is not, install it
   following the instructions here.

3. Copy the expand-unix.ini sample configuration file from the
   /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/modules/panel-migrator/backend/conf/samples/
   directory to the /usr/local/psa/var/modules/panel-migrator/conf/
   directory.

   For your convenience, the contents of the configuration file sample
   can be found here. After copying the file, rename it
   to config.ini…
