Hello !

Backup uses /var/lib/psa directory to create backups before transferring to ftp server.
how can i change this directory ?

thx for help

Andreas
 
You could try changing this in /etc/psa/psa/conf:

Code:
# Backups directory
DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps

I don't know if future Plesk upgrades will respect this change. Why do you want to change this location? It might be safer to mount another filesystem on /var/lib/psa/dumps if the reason is limited disk space.
