  1. Connect to the server via SSH.

  2. List all available Plesk backups:

  3. Use the pleskrestore utility to restore the mail data.

    Example:

    # /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --restore /var/lib/psa/dumps/domains/example.com/backup_info_2301030133.xml -only-mailnames list:john_doe@example.com

    where:

    • john_doe@example.com - email account which is going to be restored
