  • 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.

Plesk backup hangs

CosminM

New Pleskian
Hello,

I noticed that for a while my plesk backup task keeps hanging. After I kill the process, the summary backup log sais:
Phase 2/2: packing data
/bin/tar: ./error_log: file changed as we read it
/bin/tar: ./access_log: file changed as we read it
/bin/tar: ./error_log: file changed as we read it
07:06:14 ERROR Failed to create MIME message

I haven't managed to find any detailed information about that error, I hope someone from here can give me a hand.
Thank you!
 
Hello,

Please, check permissions on backup folder and it's sub folders. Right permissions are:

grep DUMP_D /etc/psa/psa.conf | awk '{print "ls -ld "$2}' | sh
drwxr-x--- 7 psaadm psaadm /var/lib/psa/dumps

Also make sure that is is enough free disk space on dump partition.

Please, check the following article for more information:

Thank you
 
Hello,
Thank you for your reply. The permissions are ok, it works just like this on another server, Plesk 8.6 too.
The root backup cron is:
30 0 * * thu /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup -v all --skip-logs /backup/becks_backup_`/bin/date "+\%Y\%m\%d\%H\%M"`
/backup is a NFS mounted partition and its permissions are:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 14 Oct 1 00:07 backup

Any ideas?
 
Edit: the actual backup file is writen, but i doubt it is clean and uncorrupted since the process backup hangs for hours..
