Plesk 11.x / Windows :: Does Backup Support Samba Share
Mar 31, 2014
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.
I have a rented VPS with 2TB of disk space and a plesk license in order to host the sites that i develop and my sites, and found myself with around 1.8TB of free space, plesk samba management and plesk vpn management but with few missing pieces for my idea. My idea was to setup vpn tunneling between my laptop and desktop to plesk server and access samba share from the server like they were in my LAN.In the firewall I have opened only the classic mail and web ports (obviously plesk access too).
We've got a Linux box running ProFTPd reaches a Windows box over SAMBA. This works very well but when the client has a great number of files, the FTP Windows-based FTP clients they use don't always give accurate directory listings (if any at all). I know there's some bug in the way SAMBA works with Windows File Sharing but I don't know what the magic file number is that, when reached, prevents a proper directory listing. Does anyone know what this magic number is or if there's an available, tested fix for this?
I'm trying to find a low cost solution for realtime file share replication in a windows environment.
It doesn't look like there are any open source windows cluster filesystems around, so the only viable option I found would be running OpenFiler in a replication cluster on Hyper-V nodes. Has anyone worked with this, does it work reliably?
The required IO throughput on these shares would really be minimal and my biggest concern is 100% availability.
I think the samba add on for Plesk 12 is not correctly implemented for CentOS 7.To get smb users added I first had to manually install the samba-client, since smbpasswd was missing:
Code: yum install samba-client Next I had to manually run
Code: chcon -R -t samba_share_t /var/www/vhosts/my-server.tld/ for each share to be able to access it...
We have a Windows 2003 Enterprise server with 6GB of RAM and about 20 terminal services users logging in. These users then launch a program called Accuthin Thin Client giving them access to a piece of software called Southware that runs on a Centos 5 Linux server on the same network.
Problem seems to be that saving files to the network share causes windows to blue screen and crash. Has anyone ever heard of this before? I know it is a shot in the dark but we have been investigating this issue for 4 months, have replaced the Windows server 5 times, increased RAM to 8 GB and installed Enterprise edition clean but the issue follow no matter what we do.
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'm migrating from Plesk 9.5 to 11 and I'm getting the following on my Transfer Pre-Check from within the Migration Manager."The destination DNS server does not support networks in the Transfer Restrictions Template, but some subscriptions have networks in DNS transfer restrictions. The records with network IP addresses in the DNS transfer restrictions will not be restored."
I've gone to Server, DNS Settings, Transfer Restriction Template and added the new server's IP to the list of allowed networks to no avail. I also couldn't find any documentation on what the cause might be.
Samba accesses can be restricted to certain IP / ranges through the access tab in the Plesk Samba extension screen.This builds the /etc/samba/ smb. conf.include file with entered information.All well and good so far.
This file contains the standard 'do not modify...' text, so making manual changes directly here is undesirable. In Plesk are some Linux commands such as /usr/local/psa/bin/php_handler through which permitted changes can be made from the command line.
Is there a similar command included which would allow a shell script to make changes in a supported manner like the /usr/local/psa/bin/php_handler file does? any changes the script makes can be seen in the Plesk Panel and unless admin changes them through the panel will be persistent.
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 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":
Failed to parse response. Reason: XML error at line 1 column 1. Error message: Not well-formed (invalid token) Process output: The system cannot find the file specified.

"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 !
