Restore large backup files in Plesk
I had to reinitialize a server I use for hosting and had 3 domains on it.
I use Plesk parallels (9.2.3) and had recent backups but 2 of the domains the backup files were about 1.5 gig and when uploading the backup files to restore it just sits for hours and nothing happens. Is there a way to upload them a different way to get them to how they were before the re install??

Partial restore
I've had to do it this way in the past
Open the backup tgz file and remove a large amount of image files which was causing most of the size. I'm using ubuntu and my archive manager allowed me to delete these files and then I uploaded this to restore.
I got an error but the restore worked minus the files I deleted from the restore file, I then used ftp to re upload the files I removed from the restore file.
It took a bit more work than I'd like but better than rebuilding the whole site from scratch.
