Early Plesk 9 did not ship with migration manager so I had to use this when migrating sites from a Plesk 8 server to a Plesk 9 server. It worked fine.

Hi,
Unfortunately you can’t do that without shell access . you can ask your hosting provider to do that for you (it’s quite easy) as well as you can install a plesk9 in a vmware linux machine (I will not need a license) and copy your backups there , convert them and then upload to your plesk9 account.
