  • 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.

Question Should the file sizes of automated Plesk backups be the same local and remote?

The following screenshot (German version) shows a backup (list in backup manager) from the last night and the displayed file size differs local/remote (1.46 vs 1.73 MB). Is this possible or an error?

If I am not mistaken, the file size depends on the type of file system, the size of the clusters and blocks of the file system. Obviously, you have different file systems on local and remote storages.
 
Thanks for your reply. I do not know the file system on the remote side, but I guess it's not the same. This might be a reason, but now I'm not sure about that, because I found something out:

I checked the today's backup. Local file has a size of 1.76 MB according to the Plesk page. When I download it and check the size with Windows, it's still 1.76 MB. Remote file is 1.49 MB according to Plesk. When I download it and check with Windows and also when I check the size directly on the remote FTP via an FTP software I get 1.77 MB (the fact that both files have a different size is correct, as I found out today in another thread (and the remote file is usually larger)).

What I want to say: I think that this is a bug. The remote file size is not shown correctly. Should I create a bug report?
