## Importing Data From a File

In addition to using the Migration Manager function of Parallels Plesk Panel for transferring data online from another server, you can use the Migration Manager utilities to gather the data you want to transfer from a source server, store them as archive files, and then import these data to a destination server.

- For gathering data on Windows-based hosting servers, you will need to install and use the migration-agent.msi program. Installation of the migration agent program is described in the Migration Guide available at http://www.parallels.com/products/plesk/resources/. After the migration agent is installed on the source server, then you can continue with importing data as described in the section Importing Data From Windows-based Servers.
- For gathering data on Linux/Unix-based servers, you will need to use the PleskX.pl command line utility. This utility is typically located in `<parallels_plesk_panel_installation_directory>/PMM/Agents/PleskX/ on Linux/Unix-based servers, and in <parallels_plesk_panel_installation_directory>`\PMM\Migration\Platforms\UnixShared\PleskX\ on Windows-based servers. This procedure is described in the section Importing Data From Linux/Unix-based Servers.
