  • 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.

Duplicate a site?

Can we duplicate a site and all of its content in Sitebuilder? So that we can setup a site exactly the same that can then be edited in the sitebuilder?

Theoretically, it is possible. The site stores information in /usr/local/sitebuilder/htdocs/sites/xx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

directory and in database. So first of all content should be copied and all appropriate records in database.

If you have static site without any modules, copy of the site can be done using site content only. But if you have modules added to the site, it won't be easy to create a duplicate site, because each module has some related records in database which should be also copied with site content.
 
So at the end I want to say that there is no exactly procedure which could help you do this, but you can try and make some experiments, for example with static sites.
 
Let's imagine the following situation: web site with modules was created and published. You created copy of this web site. Newly created web site will not have publishing settings set, because publishing to the same location does not make sence.
Site stores their data at published site, we have 2 options:
1. during site copying Sitebuilder should make copy data from published site via FTP/XCOPY/VPS
2. create dumb data (empty database)

We'd prefer to go with 2-nd option. What is your expectations?
