  • 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.

Scheduled backup won't start - disk space problem

TomBeh

New Pleskian
Got a problem with on-demand and scheduled backups which are failing to start with Error: Not enough disk space for backing up data.

But the disks are only 50% full after I cleared out tmp directories. So it's not really a disk space problem.

If I go to Tools & Settings, Backup Settings, the last two options Start the backup only if your server has the specified amount of free disk space (in megabytes) and Start the backup only if your server has the sufficient amount of free disk space (this option may significantly increase the backup time) are blank, and no matter what I change them to, nothing is saved if I go back into the Backup Settings screen (just for these two options). Where are these settings saved, can I put the value in the database by hand?

Any ideas?
 
I can't reproduce this issue. I can suggest you try to fix it with bootstrapper repair or with backup manager reinstallation.
 
Reinstalling is not an option, so lets see if we can work this out.

my /usr partition is not large enough to setup backups.

so it would be "doable" to symlink /usr/local/psa/PMM into /var/PMM ? asuming my /var partition is large enoug?
