Good day,
I am having problems manually extracting domains from Plesk 9.5 backup that was FTPed onto my back up server. I have followed the article http://kb.parallels.com/en/1757 using method 2. The problem is here:
zcat DUMP_FILE.gz > DUMP_FILE
My backup file CP_1204131759.tar is a tar archive and zcat does not work with it. So I proceed to run the command: cat CP_1204131759.tar > CP_1204131759.
But when I try # cat CP_1204131759 | munpack
I get an error that munpack did not find anything to read from standard input.
I went on to extract the tar backup file using the xvf flags and got a lot of files (20) similar to these ones: CP_sapp-distrib.7686-0_1204131759.tgz CP_sapp-distrib.7686-35_1204131759.tgz CP_sapp-distrib.7686-6_1204131759.tgz
How best can I extract the httpdocs of a domain from this server wide Plesk 9.5.4 backup?
