Improve plesk 12 as it's f*cking sh1t
Back ups for full system restore have too many conflicts
Adding domains freezes and fails
Adding hosting freezes and fails
Back up from FTP is only good for small back ups (no real world)
In general my experience of plesk 12 is very poor. I have wasted days building and rebuilding it and migrating. My level of frustration at the moment is very high. No issues with plesk 10 and 11. I have no confidence that I can run my business on plesk 12 whatsoever.
Dear David,
It is a pity you had such a horrible experience. However both adding domain and back up will work in Plesk 12 the same way as in Plesk 10 and 11 (where you had no issues) with maybe some improvements.
Full server restore indeed may have conflicts which you are to resolve, picking what to preserved and what to rewrite. It is required to recover lost data without losing or overwriting recent changes. If that is disturbing for you, than you can take a risk of losing recent changes and just overwrite everything.
Additionally, Plesk 12 would offer you so called “granular restore” where you can restore a single selected item (up to a single file) with no need to resolve conflicts.
I would suggest checking your hardware or virtual server health to address “freezing and fails” issue. And you may want to check
network performance to address FTP backup issue.
