  • 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.

Where does Plesk store its back-up files?

Regular Pleskian
I am trying to restore a Plesk from backup

Unfortunately I cannot upload the 1 Gb file via the interface. (It could be an issue on the host's network or on the box or with my connection; I don't know).

However. I have been able to upload the file to the server via SSH.

The question is; where can I put it so that Plesk recognizes ir and it appears in the local storage of backups Panel?

Thanks
 
The root backup directory is stored in the file /etc/psa/psa.conf and is set by the variable DUMP_D:

# cat /etc/psa/psa.conf | grep -w DUMP_D
DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps

This directory contains server backups, backups of resellers, clients, domains, and daily MySQL dumps. Object backups are placed according to their ownership.
 
Thanks Igor

Am I on the right track. If I just move my (complete system backup file) there will Plesk just pick it up and I will be able to run the restore? Or do I need to do anything else?
