If you are going to restore websites, we recommend that you suspend them during the restoration by using the -suspend
option. This will help you avoid possible errors in the restored sites that may be caused by changes made to the site configuration or content during the restoration.
The suspension is made as short as possible: each site is suspended only for the time it is being restored: The site is started automatically as soon as the data are processed.

Note: Actually, files created in earlier Plesk versions are not a problem. Plesk marks such backups as problematic because they lack backup signatures. A backup signature, introduced in Plesk 11.5, enables Plesk to check backups.
To skip checking and restore a backup regardless of potential problems, use the -ignore-sign
option.
Plesk administrators can also restore backups with problems is through the Plesk GUI by selecting the corresponding option on the Tools & Settings > Backup Manager > <backup_name> page. Customers and resellers are not allowed to restore such backups by default. However, you can allow all users to restore any backups regardless of potential problems. To do this, add the following lines to the /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini
configuration file:
[pmm]
allowRestoreModifiedDumps = on
To return to the default restrictions, remove these lines or change the second line to the following:
allowRestoreModifiedDumps = off
