• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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 of vital plesk settings

balechaparka

Basic Pleskian
In my server there is a scheduled task which was automatically added by plesk panel software.The scheduled task is backup of vital plesk settings. (There is a manual backup option in plesk panel for domain and server)But this scheduled task creates a backup in this path C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\MySQL\Backup
What this backup contain? Should i copy this backup to other locations so that it maybe useful in future? can i use this backup for restoring of plesk settings?
 
This is a backup of internal Plesk database. As long as you do proper backup of your Plesk, you probably don't need to care for these files, all settings anyway will be in a regular Plesk server backup.

These files could help if (for example) you try to change plesk database manually and break some tables. Database backup could help you restoring broken DB without rollback the whole Plesk to previously backed up state.
 
So backup of vital settings does backup of internal database of plesk . Is it necessary that it should run in scheduled task(as it added automatically in my server)? Does it backup used by plesk in anyway?
