  • 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.

Question How do I backup psa database regularly and to Dropbox?

epertinez

New Pleskian
I do have a server with some 10-20 domains, some of them with tens of gigs and big databases. I do backup domain by domain, daily, using Plesk backup.
But I see no way to backup psa database, or horde.
If the database server breaks in a bad way, I can rebuild the domains one by one, but I cannot Reload all PSA config. That makes no sense for me.
Is there a way you know to backup "the rest" of the system except the databases and files that you already save as user/vhost backups?

Ideally... an automated periodic way that uploads directly to Dropbox.
 
Maybe you can dump the databases with a shell command via cron to a subscription web space so that the dumps are saved along with the subscription?
 
hello @epertinez ,
psa database backed-up during daily routines and usually stored at /var/lib/psa/dumps/ (see DUMP_D variable in /etc/psa/psa.conf)

I can suggest small hack: create special not resolvable domain/subscription and copy psaDB dumps to it's directory with additional crontask.
Then you can schedule daily backup of this domain to dropbox using extension called 'Dropbox Backup'
