    84 clients, 286 domains, 142 hosting accounts and 413 e-mail accounts.

    I've already read those, but the backup utilities don't seem to support a
    MySQL dump only restore mode or something. They expect a dump made by
    psadump, which includes a whole lot of other stuff.

    They said they could do it, but what I don't like is that they couldn't
    give a quote. If it's to expensive I could as well hire cheap labour to
    fill in the new server by hand...

    Thanks anyway, it's a shame that no one seems to know how Plesks handles
    the MySQL backend.
