PLESK client backups running off schedule

D

derby

Guest
my client backups are scheduled at 300am

mysql crashed at 330am

When I restart PLESK, or the entire server, backups start running again, its 2pm and client backups are running.

And as many of you may know the server can't function when PLESK is running backups. It takes about 5 min to get a SSH login.

How can I prevent PLESK backups from running if the schedule is missed or a crash during backups occur?

I am running PLESK 8.0 on CentOS 4.3.

THanks
 
You can't.

You may just decrease backup process priority, to reduce server load.

Add "nice" to crontab task, running "backupmng" utility.
