Restoring Data from Backup Archives

 
administrator guidebacking up and restorationbackupbackup managerdatabase

You can only restore backups made in Plesk Onyx 17.0 and later.

To restore data from backup files, go to Tools & Settings >
Backup Manager and in the list of backups click the creation
date of the backup you want to restore. Note that the list can contain
backups stored both in the Plesk’s server storage and in the specified
FTP storage - the backups in FTP storage have the corresponding icon in
the System notes column. Specify the following parameters in the
restoration wizard.

Data to Restore

To restore all objects:

  1. Select the option All objects (entire system).
  2. If prompted, specify the types of data to restore, such as domain
    configurations, virtual host content, databases, or mail settings and
    accounts. For example, if you select mail settings, the mail
    settings, but nothing else, of all domains will be restored.

To restore specific objects of a particular type, such as a mailbox
or DNS zone of a domain:

  1. Select the option Selected objects.
  2. Select the type of object to restore. For example, Database.
  3. If prompted, select the subscription to which the object belongs in
    the Subscription box (applicable for all object types except for
    the Subscription). Click in the box to see the list of all
    subscriptions or type the first few letters of the subscription name,
    and Plesk will find matches. For example, example.com.
  4. Select one or more objects of the selected type. For example,
    wordpress_database_8.

You can restore several objects of one type at the same time.
Restoring objects of different types (for example, a mailbox and a
database) requires two restoration sessions: one for a mailbox and
one for a database.

Similarly, when restoring user accounts and websites at the Customer
Panel > Account section, users can select objects to restore in the
same way as in the Backup Manager wizard.

You can restore the following types of objects from a backup:

  • Reseller
  • Customer
  • Subscription
  • Site
  • DNS zone
  • Database
  • SSL/TLS certificate
  • Mailing list
  • Mail account
  • Files and directories

You can restore objects of the selected type belonging to only one
subscription during one restoration session.

Note: When you restore an incremental backup, Plesk also restores the data
from the preceding full backup and all subsequent incremental backups
made before the selected incremental backup. To see…
