• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • 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.

In case you cannot delete it through the GUI, try to descend into <dumps directory>/clients and remove the <client username> directory. Example:

1) Finde the location of your dumps directory in /etc/psa/psa.conf. It is defined in the DUMP_D variable. Say this is "/home/dumps" for this example.
2) Descend into /home/dumps/clients (# cd /home/dumps/clients)
3) Remove the customer subscription username directory. For example if the customer's username is "customeruser" remove the customeruser directory. Example: # rm -R -f ./customeruser

This will delete all local backups for that customer. The directory will automatically recreated upon the next backup.
 
in /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients there was a folder for this domain, but the backup entry is still visible in plesk.
 
By design it is impossible that Plesk displays a backup set that does not exist, because each time the backup page is opened, Plesk reads the backup sets from local and FTP sources. If this is a local backup and the local backup directory has been removed, it could not find the data, hence it cannot display the backup entry. I do not know why you are still seeing the backup entry when you have deleted the backup structure. You'll need to thoroughly check where the information is coming from. A plugin maybe? Or maybe it is a browser cache issue?
 
I can't find a backup anymore for this domain in /var/lib/psa/dumps/*. Don't know where this comes from. But as you can see in the screenshot it says it has a size of 0.
 
Browser Cache cleared, still there. It not only says the size is there it says there are 0 Backups.
