  • 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.

Question Backup Manager vs. WordPress Backup and Restore

SquanchIt

New Pleskian
Hello,

I just realized that WordPress Toolkit has its own Backup System which doesn't list the same backup instances that Backup Manager produces. In other words, if I run a backup with the WordPress Toolkit, that backup instance doesn't appear under the regular Backup Manager and vice versa.

Is there some documentation that explains the purpose of having both and their differences?

Thanks
 

Creating backups in WordPress Toolkit may be more convenient than in Backup Manager because of the following reasons:

  • WordPress Toolkit backs up an individual website, while Backup Manager backs up the whole subscription with all the subscription’s websites and their data.
  • If you need to back up an individual website, a WordPress Toolkit backup requires less time and disk space.
  • Creating backups in WordPress Toolkit does not require any setup.
