SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version	Ubuntu Linux 22.04.4
Webmin version	2.111
Usermin version	2.010
Virtualmin version	7.20.2
Theme version	21.10
Package updates	All installed packages are up to date

background

You can import backups from other platforms using the following

Virtualmin --> Add Servers --> Migrate Virtual Server --> Backup file type

the issue

the following types of backup file are probably that old they should be removed because not one is using them any more:

Ensim - I don't think this is developed anymore, i cant find it's home page
Plesk 7 - Is anyone still using this version, Plesk is now version 18
Plesk 8 - Is anyone still using this version, Plesk is now version 18
LXadmin (beta) - this was renamed to kloxo and that has not been delvoped since 2020

additional

should Plesk 9+ backup be renamed Plesk so it has parity with cPanel

I get that those are obsolete, but on the other hand we don't know what old systems users might still have out there that they want to migrate from. And it's very low overhead for Virtualmin to continue to maintain those options..

@jcameron you are right, people are still using old versions of Plesk, how old I cannot say.

I would remove LXadmin (beta) and Ensim. These probably have not been used for years.

If the Plesk imports become unmanageable from your end it will be at that time they should be removed 😄 , but I suspect they are very old.

There's not much maintenance overhead in keeping support for those old migration types..
