  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Backup Crashing Server

Basic Pleskian
Hi,

I've been running a plesk 7.5.4 box on FreeBSD for over a year now with no problems. However recently our backup has started to bring the server down from time to time. The box has dual zeons and 1gb of ram. When the problem first started occuring we switched from a single backup file to spliting the file like so /usr/local/psa/bin/psadump -f - | split -b1000m - /mnt/ (as the backup was arround 2GB and I thought this might be the cause of the crashing)

Unfortunately it crashed again last night using the split backup, so it looks like backup file size might not be the issue. I've checked the logs and can't see any evidence of faulty hardware and the system runs fully stable during the days. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be the server needs a RAM upgrade? Any advice much appreciated :)
