How to backup to a mounted drive?

Kroptokin

Regular Pleskian
Hi

My hosting company is offering to sell me backup space which will be mounted as a network location. e.g. /usr/local/backup

My question is how would I use this since Plesk seems to be configured either to use an FTP location or to use the server repository. Would I have to change the location of the server repository to this network location? This doesn't seem ideal. Is there any other way?

Thanks

Hello,

You can not store you backup directly to /usr/local/backup directory. Your hosting provider will create the FTP account with /usr/local/backup directory and then you can use FTP repository for the backup with that backup account for your account.
