  • 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.

Resolved Plesk no longer allows local backups?

New Pleskian
Hi,

As of today plesk no longer allows me to store backups locally without setting up a remote storage:

Error: You can only store backups in a remote storage, but no remote storage is currently configured. Configure remote storage in Remote Storage Settings.

I used to backup the websites on the dumps folder and occasionally I would download one of those backups to keep a secure copy.

I can still see the files (until yesterday at least) are on the dumps folder but I can't see them on the plesk backups interface. Is this a new updated behaviour?
 
Please make sure that admin user hasn't permission for local backup like here:

Code:
MariaDB [psa]> select  id,login,perm_id from clients;
+----+-------+---------+
| id | login | perm_id |
+----+-------+---------+
|  1 | admin |      2 |
+----+-------+---------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [psa]> select * from Permissions where id=2 and permission='allow_local_backups';
+----+---------------------+-------+
| id | permission          | value |
+----+---------------------+-------+
|  2 | allow_local_backups | false |
+----+---------------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

I suppose that this could happen when Plesk Web Pro edition was switched to Web Admin Edition.

To fix this issue run the following query:

Code:
update  Permissions set value='true' where id=2 and permission='allow_local_backups';
 
Hi IgorG,

Thanks so much! Worked like a charm!

Any reason why all of a sudden it changed to false? I didn't switch from Pro to Admin.

Maybe some other update?
 
Hola, tengo el mismo problema y no sé dónde encontrar el código indicado arriba o dónde ejecutar la consulta: actualizar Permissions set value = 'true' where id = 2 and allow = 'allow_local_backups'; ¿Por favor, me puedes ayudar? Gracias
