Question
How to speed up a Plesk migration?
Answer
The time effort for a migration depends on the following:
-
amount of the migrated data
-
network bandwidth
-
server performance
To speed up a migration, consider to:
-
Increase server performance:
- stop all tasks/processes that are not necessary to run
- suspend domains before starting a migration. This should only be done in case the websites are allowed to be unavailable while the migration is running. -
Improve network performance:
- speed up SSH connection by contacting a network administrator for increasing network connection speed
-
Increase amount of simultaneous threads using the following article:
-
When migrating via a command-line interface, reduce the amount of data:
- transfer domains by small bunches (5-10) at once

Plesk onyx restore is very slow than before. 80 mbs takes around 20 minutes before it used to be 1 or 2 maximum.

Such behavior is not typical for Plesk Onyx.
To investigate the issue consider contacting technical support.

Migration speed may differ based on the many factors, such as the type of data transferred.
IO operations on small files, for example, tend to be way slower due to the way how file systems work.
