Hello,
after my last experience with plesk backup utility i dediced to run an other solution.

I was thinking about rsync; is it a good idea?

I tested it and every thing is fine from rh9(client) -> rh9(server) from fc1(client) -> rh9(server)

But i've problems using between fc2(client) -> rh9(server).

**

2005/07/11 14:45:16 [10643] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(836)
**

Google doesn't help much; anyone had similar problems?
Seems to be common but any solution :-/

That is how I do it in some extreme cases, but it can be an ugly process, and you can only do it between similar OS's and identical versions of PSA.

mmm, i plan to use it just to have a fresh copy of vhosts dirs.

I need that because last plesk restore losts more than 50% of customers' httpdocs contens while restored perfect other things.

So it's a 'something more'.

Thanks
