  • 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.

Issue Change backup location fails with Access Denied

Andrew_Newth

Basic Pleskian
I have a server with a networked HDD where I store my backups using the FTP repository functionality in Plesk. I would like to change the default Plesk backup location to this drive as well. When I try to do this in Plesk Reconfiguration I get the following error:

Unable to write file backup security descriptor data: (5) Access is denied.
at (psaobsolete::DataLocation::Change line 333)
at psaobsolete.DataLocation.Change(String source, String dest)
at reconfigurator.ChangeLocation.SetRelocateState()

Would anyone know how I would give correct permission for Plesk to use this as a backup location?

Thanks!
 
Thanks Igor,

As a networked drive I can navigate to it and read/write on the drive via explorer but how do I give plesk these permissions? It seems like Plesk doesn't have the correct permissions but I'm not sure how to allow it?
