  • 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.

Ghost backup

lboss1111

New Pleskian
PRODUCT, VERSION, Parallels Panel: 11.5.30 MICROUPDATE #47 ,
OPERATING SYSTEM,CentOS 6.4 (Final) ARCHITECTURE : Vps

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION (with STEPS TO REPRODUCE):

I set up a scheduled complete backup to an external storage. After some backups (correct) i changed the Ftp storage server because the previous was too small.
Also, instead of complete backup i set up only a configuration backup.
The compete backup with old ftp parameters continue to be performed without modification....
Then i unchecked the scheduling (to disactivate the task). Nothing changed, the Ghost backup run again...


ACTUAL RESULT : I can't stop that Ghost backup

This is the log of the backup

Hello,

Have you tried to update the new FTP setting in backup tab ? If yes, New setting is updated OR are you getting any error while updating ?
 
Of course i updated the Ftp's info with new server address.

The very strange thing is: new specification task (new ftp address, schedule time etc..) work well AND old task (old server, old time etc...) work also...
In small words i have TWO backups (the first complete 1.6Gb in the firstFtp, the second just configuartion, in the second Ftp store), seems there is a task (old) that is Ghost.
 
Updated

Attached images of other server with SAME ERROR.
The backup previously programmed continue to RUN togheter with the last configured.

see attachmets please.

SOLVED (and possible BUG)

The parallel Database store both old and new backup setup (AND also old and new ftp archive definitions)
So, deleting the OLD data from Parallel Database (psa) hope the Ghostis killed.
