• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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 don't backup all domains

Hello

I have 7 servers with Plesk backup scheduled.
No one do a backup correctly.
When I open the .psa file with WINRAR, I can see all folders and content of them.
There's TOO MANY domains that DON'T EXIST in .psa, so backup isn't working correctly.
But, if I do a manual backup, just for 1 or 2 domains missing in file made automatically, they're backed up correctly.

Anyone have this same issue?
How can I discover what is wrong?
 
The first step you need to take is to look inside the backup log file.
The schedule backup is creating a log file (new file) each time it runs.
after this you will know what is the problem.
 
The log just stop logging, just as the backup.

there's no error, just a line that breaks.
 
Ex:

Code:
Start: Compress files
Log : C:\inetpub\vhosts\domain\file1
Log : C:\inetpub\vhosts\domain\file2
Log : C:\inetpub\vhosts\domain\file3
...
Log : C:\inetpub\vhosts\domain\fileN
Log : C:\inetpub\vhosts\dom


the log stops...

log works.. backup not yet

Hi!

These commands helps me to find some errors in my psa and IIS but backup aren't ok yet...
I'm searching again for some error in log files, but at this time, the log are completed. Before the execution of this commands, log stops to work in the middle of process, at this time, the log works. Let's see for some more details...
 
Plesk 7.5 backup utility works fine.
7.6 not.

Anyone has this same issue?
I really don't know where to look yet.
:(
 
SOLVED

Hi!

Plesk is backing up correctly!

Below is the latest update from SWSoft support:
=================================================
Hello,

I managed to reproduce the issue. Actually there is a known issue with WinRAR and Plesk archives that contain a lot of files. There are two ways of resolving this:

1) Just ignore the warning message. Such kind of backups can be easily restored as they were created properly;
2) Use another software to manage archive file (i.e., 7zip).

Please check it and let us know if you have any further questions.

Best Regards,
