  • 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 querry

New Pleskian
Hello,

I'm a new user to Plesk and would like to ask a quick question about the backup feature offered.

Does this include a backup of all mail for each account?

I guess the broader question is, does the backup contain everything I need to then restore it in the case of a major server failure?

I see there is an option for 'configuration and content'. If I use this option, would I be able to restore ALL settings, config and content (including mail) IF I had to restore to a clean install of Plesk?

Thank you in advance.

That's correct, make sure you set a password for backups, so they can be easily restored on a different VPS/Server and you will be good.

Plesk -> Tools & Settings -> Backup Manager -> Settings -> Scroll to bottom of page.

Plesk's encryption key
Specified password
