• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • 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.

Problems with Backup to FTP repository

Fritz MichaelG

Basic Pleskian
I have tried to use the option to store scheduled backups in a remote FTP repository. This is scheduled to run every month... and every month it is killing the server.

  • The Backup itself runs fine. The archive is created and then uploaded to the remote FTP repository.
  • This takes a long time however, since the internet connection of the remote FTP server is not that fast.
  • After the upload is finished, the Backup Task never goes away
    • Under Tools & Settings > Backup Manager > Current Backup Task the task is still there and stays at 100%. It never goes away
    • When I reboot the server, Plesk will notify that the backup task has failed (even though it was finished) and start all over again.
    • This will go on and on and never stop. Sometimes, due to maintenance, I may have to reboot again, and then it will start another backup process and slow the server down.

Currently, it runs the backup again. How can I completely cancel the procedure? Last time I messed around and killed all relevant processes and somehow Plesk never started another backup again. But theres must be a better way?
