  • 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 ftp backup fails

My plesk backup to a remote ftp server fails. I cant find the logs but when i look at the ftp server i can see the backup files (probably inclomplete). When i look in Plesk 9.5.3 at "current backup tasks" it just says, failed. No details given.

How can i find out whats wrong and fix it? Where are the backup log files located?
 
Try to find related error messages in logs from /usr/local/psa/PMM/logs/
 
Unfortunately nothing related. Plesk also doesnt deliver the notification e-mails about failing backups.
 
We had the same problem. But when doing a manual backup, the email notification were send including older notifications from the scheduled backups. The reason for the backup to "fail" was just a warning about a missing password of one of the user accounts.

I can confirm, that the email notification of the scheduled backup DOES NOT WORK at all.
 
@Nicoh,
It is maybe an issue related to user permissions to the logs. You should find the logs and apply 777 permissions.
