Resolution

To do this follow the steps below:

1. Upload migration agent and modules to the source server. For example for Plesk, there are two folders: /usr/local/psa/PMM/agents/shared and /usr/local/psa/PMM/agents/PleskX. Use the command below to copy the Migration Manager:

destination ~# scp -r /usr/local/psa/PMM/agents/shared/* /usr/local/psa/PMM/agents/PleskX/* root@source:/destination_forder/

2. Login to source server and change to directory /dumping_folder. Run migration agent (PleskX.pl) with parameter --help to get all available options of the migration agent. Start dumping with options you need. For example:

source ~# cd /dumping_folder
dumping_folder ~# chmod 755 PleskX.pl
dumping_folder ~# ./PleskX.pl --dump-all

3. When dumping is completed there are dump configuration file dump.xml and content dump archives created in current directory /dumping_folder.

4. Copy file dump.xml to directory /work_dir on the destination server.

4. Create directory /work_dir/archives on the destination server and copy other content dump files to this directory (/work_dir/archives).

5. Then you can restore the data via Plesk Control Panel.
Login to Plesk Control Panel as administrator and change to the Migration Manager page (Server -> Migration Manager). Start a new migration and select Data import. Pay attention for choosing correct Working directory for the data importing, it should the directory where you put the data (/work_dir).
