Recovery of Databases from general Plesk Backup Management
Error when restoring backups of databases using general Plesk Backup Management..
If databases have been created which do not contain any tables, the empty database will not be filled with tables when the databases are restored again, will remain empty.
The Plesk database file is selected -> opened to see the options of what you want to do with it. In my case, I want to restore a database.
There should be a question when you are already in import mode for "Databases" -> "Select database" -> "Overwrite empty databases" and "Overwrite all old databases (security question when confirming "restore", because if an error occurs, existing data could be overwritten with older data)".

Thank you for your suggestions Jan. We appreciate your input. However when restoring objects, such as databases, from a backup it's expected that existing objects will be overwritten by the objects from the backup. That's the nature of restoring backups.
That's why unfortunately we are unable to consider your suggestions for additional user confirmations when restoring backup. We appreciate your understanding.
As for restoring an empty database we ran some tests but were unable to reproduce the result you're describing. If you encountered any issues with restoring an empty database from a backup we suggest you contact Plesk support for an investigation of the issue.
