  • 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.

New Plesk backup issue?

Ryan11433

Regular Pleskian
When I try to backup my plesk using Plesk Backup and I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Also for just incase if you need to know I have ran "alter table DatabaseServers add column parameters_id int;" and "alter table db_users add column status int;" in the psa database to fix the SQL error in the plesk control panel.
 
C:\>"%plesk_bin%\dbclient" --direct-sql --sql="ALTER TABLE DatabaseServers ADD C
OLUMN parameters_id int;"
Can't execute ALTER TABLE DatabaseServers ADD COLUMN parameters_id int;: MySql e
rror 1060:Duplicate column name 'parameters_id'
C:\>"%plesk_bin%\dbclient" --direct-sql --sql="ALTER TABLE db_users ADD COLUMN s
tatus int;"
Can't execute ALTER TABLE db_users ADD COLUMN status int;: MySql error 1060:Dupl
icate column name 'status'

I've already added those in Mysql Administrator. I'm talking about (When I try to backup my plesk using Plesk Backup and I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.")
 
Solution

Hi,

Did you have any solutions about this problem? I get the same after upgrading from v. 8.3 to 8.6

Regards Matthias
 
I am receiving this error as well. Unfortunately it's not a very descriptive error. Any method I use to backup (Plesk Backup, individual domain backup through the control panel) produces this error.
 
upgrading from v. 8.3 to 8.6

I also updated from v8.3 to 8.6 and there is obviously a bug that did not update the psa database with all the new fields needed. I don't believe we need to pay for support to fix this. Does anyone have a solution?
