If you have correctly configured your Plesk backups, using the ‘pleskbackup’ command line utility then single domain restores don’t have to be complicated!
Note that this outline expects that you have a pleskbackup script similar to the following in place at /etc/cron.daily/z-plesk-backup:
echo Plesk Nightly Backup
echo
/bin/mv /psabu/dump6 /psabu/dump7
/bin/mv /psabu/dump5 /psabu/dump6
/bin/mv /psabu/dump4 /psabu/dump5
/bin/mv /psabu/dump3 /psabu/dump4
/bin/mv /psabu/dump2 /psabu/dump3
/bin/mv /psabu/dump1 /psabu/dump2
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup server --output-file=/psabu/dump1
echo
echo Backup File Sizes:
echo
/usr/bin/du -csh /psabu/dump*
echo
echo Backup Complete!
