  • 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 Database copy not working

Doug Pirila

New Pleskian
I am trying to create a staging site using a subdomain, copied the website, and tried to copy the database but it gives this error: "Unable to copy database "dbnmae" (.\MSSQLSERVERNAME) to the database "newdbname" (.\MSSQLSERVERNAME). The copying procedure failed."

What do I have to do to fix Plesk so I can use the copy database option?

Select a check box corresponding to the database you want to back up and click Back Up.

Specify the name of the backup file and click OK

Restore.

I have no issues with backups and restores, but I have a new version of a site, copied the website and need to copy to database to the new database, but it never works. I have clicked copy and selected the databases, the system says it's cloning it, but I just get the email saying it did not work.

Is this a known issue? Or do I have to go to the server and management studio?

Thanks
