How to disable backup signing in pleskbackup?

[deltatech]

Is there any way to disable signing of backups in plesk backup on plesk 11.5.x?

It is taking a HUGE amount of overhead and takes over 45 minutes just to sign the backup. I see no need for backup signing and would like to turn it off. Is this possible?

The size of my backup is 62gb in size which probably explains why it takes so long to sign it.

That doesn't answer the question. That only tells me how to restore a backup even though it isn't signed..

I need to know how to make pleskbackup not sign the backup. Specifically, I am doing a full server backup from the command line and don't want it due to the huge amount of server resources and time it takes to sign a large 60gb file.

My command line now is..

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup server -v --output-file=myfile

I am also interested in the answer to this question, on Plesk v11.0.9 with backups created by a scheduled task in the Backup Manager.
The signing appears to add an extra unwanted hour in backup creation (and additional unnecessary CPU load) on our servers.
Please advise on how to perform backups without signing them.

I did find a temporary workaround to prevent signing of the backups. Parallels should really come up with a command line option to skip the signing but until they do. This works...

the signing binary is located in /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/backup_sign simply rename that file to backup_sign.bak and create a new one to replace the original backup_sign as a shell script like this..

#!/bin/sh
exit;

Change the permissions to be executable 755

Now it won't sign and backups complete MUCH faster.
