Restore plesk 11 via personal FTP

Question

I'm trying to perform data migration from server to server.

My hosting provider allow me a personal FTP to backup all my server data everyday.

I just installed the new server with a Plesk 11 panel manager as the old one (same version).

Now I want to use personal FTP to transfer data (databases, websites, domaines configuration) and get it in the new server.

I did the first part (transfert from personal FTP with ncftp) with success.

Now I have a .tar file (15 GO) containing all my data from the old server, I put it in /var/lib/psa/dump, But I can't find it in Plesk backup manager to perform restore action.

can I do it otherwise ? or Am I messing something here ?

Thank you very much.

Update: I've used migration tool of plesk (dont need to use backup files anymore) :)

Has your tar file .discovered folder? Try to unpack it in /var/lib/psa/dumps/

Plesk backup manager looks for .discovered folder in /var/lib/psa/dumps/.

Here the simple content of this folder:

root@deb6x32-plesk11:~# ls -la /var/lib/psa/dumps/
