Right now, these accounts are not migrated because Plesk cannot store hashed passwords for system users

Integrate option to interrupt copy processes
I've copied a larger website to another destination, but I needed to interrupt the process, because something needed to get changed first. But there is no way to do so, I needed to wait a couple minutes before the task was done, why is there no option to cancel the current process? You could add an additional alert, if someone really wants to cancel it, but I see no reason, why this option is not available at all.

Migrate domain only
Hello,
Please add fucntionality to migrate only one domain from the subscription, including configuration, mail boxes and databases.
For example, If I need to migrate an additional domain from a subscription and the subscription has a lot of additional domains, the migration of whole subscription is feasible.

Plesk Migrator : ability to exclude folder/files from migration
Sometimes, migration has to be quick.
But when there is a domain containing many big files (videos, big archive, ...) that will slow the migration process.
It would be a good idea, I think, to let the user exclude/include folder from migration process.
May be just add an option in the CLI command like :
plesk-migrator copy-contents --skip-folders-list=[FILE WITH FOLDER LIST]20 votes -
Add support SFTP and FTPS protocol for migration
We are only able to use a FTP connection to migrate a website. It would be a nice add to be able to use SFTP and FTPS to connect to the old server,
8 votesPlesk Migrator uses an SSH based connection, which is close to SFTP, but a technologically advanced solution. Could you please explain where you are seeking SFTP and FTPS and why you believe that this is better than the current Plesk Migrator solution?

improve the migration manager for horde identities
I recently migrated to a new server and most went smoothly.
Alas all horde settings an especially the additional identities I had added are gone and it is a real pain to add them one by one.
So please make the migration manager aware about horde settings and migrate those properly too.26 votes -
website importing with different ip for ftp and www
The current website import function only allows entry of the source domain name.
I need to specify the ftp server details separately as for some hosts the ftp server is on a different ip to the website and the current import function fails as it fails to access either the website or ftp server depending on which info was entered as the source domain.6 votesThank you for your input!

Migrate all crontabs and MySQL routines, events, users permissions
Please add to Plesk Migrator the ability to:
- migrate all crontabs, as currently, only the last created task for a domain will migrated;
- disable crontabs on target server before migration, to avoid unpredictable effects with those scripts that interact with the outside;
- MySQL routines;
- MySQL events;
- MySQL event scheduler status on/off;
- user permissions that you set from Tools&Settings > Database Servers > Manage via DB WebAdmin" - see https://snag.gy/HWyFRS.jpg

Better migration of "PHP from OS vendor" parameters
Please consider the following use case:
- testdomain.tld on a CentOS target server is using "PHP from OS vendor" version 5.3;
- The destination server is Ubuntu 14, with newer version of PHP from OS vendor, so you install PHP 5.3 with Plesk Installer;
- The migrated testdomain.tld will have different PHP parameters that may cause disruption of the website.An example: PHP short open tag is enabled by default on PHP from CentOS repository, but is disabled on PHP 5.3 handler installed via Plesk Installer. If a PHP code uses short open tags, the script will stop working. Plesk…
4 votesThe problem may be in that destination server will not be able to use specified version of PHP for the migrated domain because of absence in official OS vendor’s repository. To prevent this kind of problems we see improvement of pre-migration checker which will notify you about possible post-migration issues. After that, the server administrator must solve the problem himself. The automatic resolving of these incompatibilities looks very dangerous.

Express transfer: migration manager option to change IP address
cPanel has a feature much appreciated: transfer in "Express Transfer".
This feature allows you to migrate one or more domains from a source server to a server with changing IP ADDRESS from old to new server.I think it's time to apply it in Plesk.

Ability to migrate just configuration, no content
Sometimes we have to transfer domains with very large data. By the time the migration has finished (a few hours later) a lot of the data is out of sync. So we have to manually rsync the data across again.
Therefore, we would request the option to just migrate domain configuration and no data. So just set up the domain, all mailboxes subdomains etc.. but leave all content behind. Basically just a skeleton of the domain.
