My backups stopped working and I have found that my pleskbackup file is gone. How do I get this file back?

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.

Hi.
There is no way to find out where is your backup as we do not know any information about the existing configuration. How did you made the backups? What command you used? Was it scheduled backup per domain basis or was it the full server backup? Was it configured to store the backups on the local server of you used some ftp server? If the backup file is really gone and you cannot find it anywhere on the server then probably it is lost and the only way is to create a new one.

have you recently upgraded to 8.3? i have recently upgraded to 8.3 and i don't have a pleskbackup any more either. i would expect to find a link to it in /usr/loca/psa/bin, but it's not there. and it isn't anywhere else, as far as i can see.

the directory where the backups are stored is defined in /etc/psa/psa.conf file, the DUMP_D variable. For example here's my default dump directory - /var/lib/psa/dumps/
# cat /etc/psa/psa.conf | grep DUMP
DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps
Check this file, look into the directory, probably you'll find some files there.
# cat /etc/psa/psa.conf | grep DUMP
DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps
Check this file, look into the directory, probably you'll find some files there.
you have misunderstood what i said, monica. and i believe you have also misunderstood what shagz wrote.
what i am missing is not a backup but pleskbackup. pleskbackup is a compiled php script which, at least according to the plesk 8.2 documentation, should be in /plesk_installation_directory/bin/ (see the section 'restoring your data' in http://www.1stdomains.co.uk/manuals/plesk-8.2-unix-backup-restore-guide/

yes, there was some misunderstanding. By the way, I cannot find it on my server as well. Moreover, I do not see plesk backup manager installed.
The problem can be that Plesk 8.3 was removed from the available updates - most probably there was some errors with the upgrade or with the components. I believe you should wait for the release and then install backup manager with Plesk autoinstaller. The release should be available at the end of the week.
