Hi

I have a backup of a plesk server. This server is not online, I only have ftp acces to a total backup of the server. I would like to restore a database, but I canīt find it!

Where are the users databases located on a plesk system? Is this at all possible?

What version of Plesk is it? Windows or Linux? v7 / v7.5 or v8?

It varies depending on your answer to those questions :)

Ohh sorry.

It was plesk 8.0 running under redhat enterprise!

(sorry - I assume this is mysql?)

Hmm also now that I think about it - if the server is offline what use is restoring the database?

The only two ways I know about with restoring a database of that type would be via SSH or a web based facility like phpmyadmin - I'm not sure FTP would be much use to you ...
