Defining How the Restore Process is Performed

Define the way how the restore process will be performed includes the following:

1. Defining restore verbosity
2. Suspending the domains being backed up

Defining level of restore verbosity

pleskrestore works in one of the following verbosity modes:

1. Non-verbose mode. Default mode. The minimum level, only general errors are displayed, like, for example, syntax errors (no or wrong command specified, invalid input parameters), runtime errors and unhandled exceptions, and so on.
2. Verbose mode. Restore runs with verbosity level 3, which includes, in addition to the previous level, deployer errors, information about conflicts (read about restore conflicts in the Conflict Resolution Rules and Policies section), and so on. Enabled by adding the -verbose option to the pleskrestore command.
3. Debug mode. Restore runs with verbosity level 4, the highest possible, includes the most extensive information on the restore process. Enabled by adding the -debug option to the pleskrestore command.

Suspending domains

In case you are going to restore domains, it is recommended to use the -suspend option to suspend the domains during the restore process. Doing this ensures from errors in the restored domains that may be caused by changes done to the domain configuration and/or content during the restoration.

The suspension is made up to be as short as possible: each domain is suspended only for the time it is being backed up, the domain is started automatically as soon as the domain data is processed.
