How to extract a file from Plesk 8.1.1 backup
Mpack tool is required in this case to work with MIME files. I have FC4 and got this package from here:
https://sourceforge.net/project/sho...lease_id=137934
You can find there as RPM as well as source RPM packages. So instructions are simple:
Create an empty directory to restore the back up file:
- mkdir recover
- cd recover
Create ungzipped copy of the backup in the current directory.
# gunzip < /PATH_TO_BACKUP/BACKUP_FILE > domain-backup.mime
Run munpack to extract content of directories from the backup file
# munpack domain-backup.mime
# ls -al
Untar the needed directory. For example if you need to restore httpdocs:
#mkdir httpdocs/
# tar xvf DOMAIN.TLD.httpdocs -C httpdocs/
In destination directory - httpdocs you should get all files.
