Upload Plesk backup larger than 2GB

For Linux
1. Connect to a Plesk server where a Plesk backup should be restored via SSH.
2. Transfer the backup file (should look like backup_info_XXXXXXXXXX.xml.tar) to this server (for example, via an FTP agent).
3. Run the following command to import the uploaded file to the Plesk Backup Manager. Replace /path/to/file.xml.tar with an actual path:# plesk sbin pmm-ras –import-file-as-dump –dump-file-specification /path/to/file.xml.tar
  - If the backup is password protected, use the following command:# PLESK_BACKUP_PASSWORD=”yourpassword” plesk sbin pmm-ras –import-file-as-dump –dump-file-specification /path/to/file.tar
4. In Plesk, go to Tools & Settings > Backup Manager and find the backup that has been uploaded.

For Windows Server
1. Connect to a Plesk server where a Plesk backup should be restored via RDP.
2. Transfer the backup file (should look like backup_info_XXXXXXXXXX.xml.zip) to the server (for example, via an FTP agent or simply by copying it to RDP window).
3. Start a command prompt as an Administrator and run the following command to import the uploaded backup file to the Plesk Backup Manager. Replace /path/to/file.xml.zip with an actual path:C:\> plesk sbin pmm-ras –import-file-as-dump –dump-file-specification /path/to/file.xml.zip
4. In Plesk, go to Tools & Settings > Backup Manager and find the backup that has been uploaded.
