If you have a windows dedicated server which has plesk 7.0 version on it and you need to migrate it to a newer server which has the latest plesk version 8.6 , normally you will try to backup the hosting accounts with Plesk Migration Manager or the Plesk backup utility.

The unfortunate part is that it will not work on plesk 7.0 , to get this done you will have to upgrade windows plesk from 7.0 to 8.6 . For this you will have to go step wise, so you will have to first upgrade to version 7.5.6+ and then proceed to upgrade to 8.6. During the upgrade plesk will ask for key which you will have to opt from your server provider. Once this is upgraded, you can add the key and can login to your upgraded plesk version. Later your can start with the backup and restore process.
