  • 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.

Resolved Why is the backup size smaller than the database?

Hello.
My site database has more than 7 GB.
But when I do a full backup of the site, the backup is only 1GB.
It's normal?
 
database backup file is a compressed file that is with .sql extension which is a dump of the database and in zip format and hence you see the smaller size of the database , however its recommended to take database backup seperate just to make sure you have a working backup and not a corrupted one.
