Question Backup naming convention

[WhiteTiger]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.69 #3

I can't figure out the convention used for Plesk backup, to find the backup of a given day.
I asked for a daily incremental backup, with a Weekly Full and rotation of 4 backups.

I also didn't understand if it's possible to configure the Full on a given day (with the Free version).

This is the list of the latest backups performed.

Hello, @WhiteTiger . Source:

a suffix designating the backup creation date is always added to each backup file, and the date format is <yymmddhhmm>. For example, the files of a backup created on 6 April 2011, 8:58 PM will have the suffix 1104062058

So, in your case 8th of May, 2025, 00:06 AM

Tanks, but I see two dates backup_2505080006_2505130006.tar
Is the second date the incremental one?

Also, can I configure the day to do the full?

Correct, 2505080006 is the timestamp of the full backup and 2505130006 of the incremental.

The full backups are those without an additional timestamp, for example backup_2505080006.tar.
