  • 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.

Not a backup file

When I click on the FTP Backup tab for a domain, files created by the scheduler are listed, but they all say "Not a backup file" under comments and have a red X in the first column rather than the green arrow. I also schedule backups for the client and those show as valid. Anyone else have this problem? Do you know what it means? Are the backups created by the scheduler bad? If I have a problem will I be able to restore these backups?

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

Could it be that the backups were created before the plesk upgrade ? So basically they are not plesk 8.0 backups?
 
No, these are current backup files that have been created under 8.1.
 
I thought I had fixed the problem but it is only a partial fix. I created separate backup directories on the FTP server for each domain. After that, the backup files were showing as valid until there were more than four backups in a folder. It seems to show the first four as valid and all those after that as invalid in the list. If I delete the older backups then the newer ones that showed as invalid are now valid. It only seems to recognize the first few backups in the folder.

I have pretty much the same problem, except plesk is only recognising the first 2 backups. Problem is, even if I place them in different folders, I want to keep more than 2 backups! Anyone got a solution for this?
