Plesk 11.x / Windows :: Backup Log Information Is Not Available
May 13, 2013
When I login to plesk as admin and then Tools and settings and then backup manager and choose backup and then Server configuration and content and run backup, after 2-4 minutes i see backup process failed and then i see "Backup log information is not available" what should i do?
I work for Microsoft. Used to be a regular participant on Web Hosting Talk a few years ago (then moved over to Europe at that time). I've been doing some work recently that has led me back to the community here to ask for some input on where administrators of Windows-based hosting services go to find technical information.
How often might you use the following two Web sites?
1) [Hosting Solutions on TechNet]
2) [Windows Hosting Discussions]
I've just re-registered a new account so I have to do the five post thing before I can insert links, otherwise I'd to a direct link to the two above. If you're not familar with them, just do a Web search for those phrases and the sites will be at the top of the list.
Are there other Web sites that you use regularly for technical information on operating Windows hosting services? Or do you mostly just enter a phrase in Google and temporarily use the Web site/s that come up in the search results?
I have faced the following ftp backup error in windows plesk 11.5.30
Transport error: unable to send directory to repository: Transport error: unable to put local file C:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskPrivateTemp/repo_transport_tmp_01cf171bcedd7710ackup_1401220130.zip to backup_1401220130.zip: Curl error: Failure when receiving data from the peer
I have a scheduled backup set on my panel, to backup all server configuration and content, and is set to run every week. I also set to keep only 1 backup on repository, but this config doesn't seem to work! My hard drive is getting full all the time, and when I check that its because theres a lot of old backups stored that are not getting removed!
My question is: the backup script removes the old files only at the end or it does it while backing up? If the action of removal happens only at the end of the script, i think it would explain why it isn't working: my hard drive gets full before, and the script drops an error, and never get to the end of it and it doesn't remove the old backups.
My Version: Parallels Plesk Panel v11.0.9_build20120609.17 os_Windows 2008
I guess the Plesk 12 is the best version of plesk for windows since i work with plesk on version 8.
But the backup task still has a problem, now i can't backup my server using backup manager. If i create a manual task to create backup after few hours the server and plesk just get to slow to use. Only when i remove task i can use back server.
When Parallels create a backup task who's really work ?
How can i backup all my accounts of server in case of crash?
when i try to make backup of mssql 2012 on plesk 11.5 i have the following error:Error: dbbackup failed: Unable to backup database 'DBANME'. Unable to open connection: A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated.i already configured temp/network directory,
Is there a way to run an additional task after the scheduled backup has completed?I want to copy the backup off-site. I can't use FTP, otherwise I'd use the built-in 'Personal FTP Repository' feature. (See Rsync, Amazon S3, Rackspace cloud files, etc)
I could just create a new scheduled task, but the backup takes an unpredictable amount of time, and the tasks need to run sequentially. Also, the 2nd task should only run if the backup succeeds.
I could disable the backups in the control panel and create a new scheduled task that does both the backup and the additional task. But then the functionality of the control panel's Backup Manager page is lost.
I had do a backup with the plesk 11.5, the backup includes sites, configuration and emails. The restore of the backup don't create all the emails and email folders. There was a way to read or convert the .msg files that exists inside the backup files? A way to convert that msg files to pst or other format that can read by an email client.
The problem is a bug in one domain (the principal) for which a backup job unfinished blocking the domain. Unable to unlock the domain and indicated (in version 10.4.4) I had a backup job unfinished. Restarting the server did not solve anything.
We upgraded to plesk 11 and this is the error that now comes in all requests for backup, to click on "Admin Backup":

The scenario is like this I have Plesk + IIS + windows server and I want to store Plesk backups to a partition in linux server. So I have created a samba share and mounted it under the windows server. the issue showing is it is not possible to write to samba shared partition.
"Domain is suspended every day by backup and not resumed" - [URL] ....
How can I configure for default this setting "Un-check the Suspend domains until backup task is completed option in the scheduled backup task properties" ?
I make full backup from my Plesk 11 server and Copy All files over %plesk_dir%/Backup to New server. When I tried to restore them I received this error !

I recently migrated a load of domains from a pleks 8.? install to a plesk 12 one. As part of the migration a new reseller was created but all the resellers domains got "lost". They were all there and working but not appearing in the interface.
I did some googleing and fixed this problem and can now see all the domains and when I look at the reseller plesk tells me it has 0 own customers, 0 own plans and 0 own subscriptions. However, if I look at the resources tab it tells me that 7 domains out of unlimited are being used.I just wondered where plesk get's that info from and if it is safe to delete that reseller without risking the domains getting deleted too.
I have recently setup PPA and already use WHMCS.I can provision accounts without any issues, however i need to be able to send a good looking welcome letter like the regular plesk panel integration.As i don't know which server the account is provisioned to, i can't really send any IP informations to the customer.
Should the welcome e-mail be sent from PPA..Also, i noticed that FTP username and password does not follow the WHMCS login.username is like sub2_ 87 or similar with a password i don't know.Last, the configuration options was not created as the documentation states.Is there an easy way to add them?
When I click to Backup Manager it gives an error "Error: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc4 in position 7: ordinal not in range(128)" , now i can't reach backup properties
My Plesk backup doesn't work properly. I constantly get the error "dump file has wrong format".I followed the steps in "How to verify an invalid Plesk backup file" [URL] .... and found the following:
No matter what I do (updating settings, saving, etc.), the error keeps coming back. Seems like a database inconsistency. How can I access the Plesk DB through PhpMyAdmin to check the notifications table? When I go to Settings > Database servers > Local MySQL server > Webadmin, I only see my customers' databases.
I'm having this issue when trying to set automatic backups to a separate server:

When I try to migrate from plesk 11.5 to Plesk 12.0 appears this error "Backup has wrong signature. Restoration prohibited" and migration is not performed . The Plesk 12.0 is a new installation in a new Windows 2012 R2 server.
Every time a backup task finishes (full server or a single domain) i get the following error:
The operation you were performing failed. You can retry the operation with or without changing its parameters. You may also want to report this problem to our support.
