• 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.

Exclude subdirs (owncloud) from a site backup

Rafael_Cresci

New Pleskian
Hello,

I have an issue that is bugging me:

Customer has a website which is backed up daily.
Problem is that the backup and tarballing takes too long as some of his subdirectories have many huge static files. They are running under owncloud.

I would like to keep Plesk doing the daily backups for all of the websites (metadata, HTML, SQL databases), but I would also like it to NOT include the owncloud specific directories with static files since these will be backed up directly by JungleDisk client. This way I would save a duplicate or triplicate usage on JungleDisk as I set the backups on Plesk to retain for 2 days. The owncloud files then would be backed up only once and JD itself would take care of the versioning, instead of having multiple huge tarballs concentrated with the daily backups of everything.

Is there a way I can achieve this, i.e., making Plesk not backing up specific (sub-)directories or even file extensions?
