Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Backup Manager Automating Tasks
Mar 1, 2015
I have setup Backup Manager to backup Files and Configurations every week for every subscription. This worked really good however we are now considering changing this to daily basis.
As the free space on server will decrease. I was wondering i there is any way with cronjobs how to remove the backup older than 24 weeks. How to make such an cronjob script?
If possible i also would like to know where the Backup Manager physically stores its backups?

I see I can only create a single backup task in plesk, server self repository or ftp repository.
My idea is duplicate backups inside and outside of my vps, I mean, I want to create a backup task in my vps and in my own ftp server.
It is possible?

I'm new to Parallels Panel. I use version 11.0.9. I want to backup mysql database daily. First of all, what is the best way for daily database backup in plesk. I'm trying to do this in Scheduled Tasks and I use mysqldump command although I'm not sure.
I chose the time and day first and then I switched on the task. I typed the following command to Command line.
mysqldump -uusername -ppassword databasename | gzip -9 >/httpdocs/mydatabase.sql.gz
or
mysqldump -uusername -ppassword databasename >/httpdocs/mydatabase.sql.gz
This created only a blank file. When I use this without gzip, nothing changes.
1- Is mysqldump right command for database backup?
2- Should I define full path for mysqldump, gzip and database? If so, how can I find out the full path of mysqldump, gzip and my database? Because I can't see their locations in panel.
3- I can't see any error message. There is not any log file in httpdocs folder. Where does the log file exist?
4- It is weird but should the username be "database user" or should I write "root" ?

I have multiple backups stored under server repository (subscriptions --> <domainname> --> website and domains --> backup manager).
The physical files are located at: /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients/904279/domains/<domainname>/
When I click the green arrow to download these files to a local computer (see attached image) I get a new page with title "Download the backup file". On this page I have the option to set a password on the downloaded file, but no matter what I do (password or no password) the file is not downloaded to my local PC. I don't get a pop-up box with the option to save the file. Just nothing happens ...

I have an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit virtual private server with Plesk 12. The server is hired from a hosting provider. The server is used to run the Odoo ERP application (using postgres database).
The Odoo application is running fine and now I want to create a backup of the application using Plesks Backup manager.
I choose configurations and content option in the backup manager but the created backup is only 200kb.
I think the problem is the location where the Odoo application is installed is not included in the backup. I made a tar backup from the server and extracted it on my pc. It seems that the main parts of the Odoo application are in the var, opt, etc and usr directories (not in a domain but under root).
Installing the application in a domain would solve the Plesk backup issue I think but the installation script of Odoo puts Odoo in var, opt, etc and usr directories even if I put the install script in the directory of a created domain. Since the manual Odoo installation is complicated I am very happy to use the script.
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to include the directories var, opt, etc and usr in the Plesk backup and how and where do I do that?
2. Can I restore such a backup without no problem in Plesk?

I would like to have the Backup Manger run a full server backup but exclude one domain that has tons of material which does not need to be backed up as often.
Years ago, Plesk did have the option to choose the domains to backup (Admin login). However, It was a problem at times because I would forget to include new domains.
I do not know of any similar option present now to exclude a domain from the full Scheduled Backup.
I am thinking that I could set up a reseller (myself), put all of the sites I would like to backup more often in that account and run backup from that level.
The Problem with including all of the sites is that the SUPER LARGE site, bogs downs the backup process and I really do not knew it included as often.

I lately decide to change my server provided and I decided to go for pre-installed Plesk12 service , plesk installed with os installation and in the beginning was looking ok , till I faced two problems .
The first problem I found is on Backup manager , I set a daily backup with maximum of 5 but every day I receive the error :The backup backup_website.com_info_1505272137.xml and backup_website.com_info_1505262137.xml was not created , I check the current backup task and the two task shows fails.(picture attached)
The second problem I found It may be related , is concerning the File permission , the user root and on group root are not able to change any file permission but the user pinco on group root is able to change it as well as the user Pinco on group psacln/psaserv , I updated the plesk12 to latest release to see if maybe was some changes but unfortunately nothing
Not migration for domains and was fresh install for os and plesk12
Plesk version:12.0.18 Update #48
OS: CentOS 6.2 (Final)

I've been running a Plesk server with around 100 domains for years and years now. I've always used a backup service provided by the server vendor, but with a new server, I wanted to consider some of the backup options built into Plesk.
1. It looks like Plesk/Acronis is dead or only for Windows. Is that right?
2. If I add a backup drive to the server, can I setup Plesk Backup Manager to store the backups there (instead of on the main RAID array)?
3. Are there any other 3rd party extensions that I should consider?

After a successful upgrade from 11.5.30 to 12.0.8 the Backup Manager cannot be accessed anymore. The system replies with:
Internal error: Failed to parse response. Reason: Failed to read data from stream Process output:
MessageFailed to parse response. Reason: Failed to read data from stream Process output:

Line708
TypePleskPMMResponseException
Apparently the backups are not saved anymore either.

Whenever a user in my Cloudlinux powered Plesk Panel 12 tries to use the scheduled tasks, this is the error that is emailed to them...
excel: couldn't exec `/usr/local/psa/bin/chrootsh'
excel: No such file or directory
Does not matter what the task is, same error every time.
Even something as simple as wget [URL] .....

Looking at a server with Plesk 12 installed there is no root user shown in tools & settings / scheduled tasks.
Login as root and crontab -l shows root has some tasks.
On a similar server with Plesk 11.5 installed can see root user shown in tools & settings / scheduled tasks.

We set a couple of task with domain user but the cron is not executed.
We tried 2 kind of task to run every minute
/usr/bin/php /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/cron.php
and
mail -s "Hello" admin@domain.com
1) Why scheduled task are not executed?
2) Where the tasks are written in filesystem from plesk ? /etc/....?

I have the following command to execute every 5 minutes this PHP file which is working correctly:
/usr/bin/wget -qq -O /dev/null http://url.com/script.php
How can I make it so only the system (scheduled task or the server itself) can access to the file to execute it. I tried placing CHMOD 700 to the PHP file but everyone is still able to access to it and executive it.

We have a VPS with Centos 5 and Plesk 12.0.18.
The CRON service is running and works correctly, the Scheduled tasks on the administration Plesk Panel (tools & Setting / Scheduled tasks / root user) works ok, but when a customer sets a new scheduled task from her domain panel, don't works.
The task is a simple WGET command.

First of all I checked via command line if any software is not installed properly while plesk installation was done on destination server (windows server 2012 R2). All looks fine, please check attached file pleskinstallation.txt
Source plesk version 10.4.4 (windows server 2008)
Destination plesk version 12.0.18 MU#23 built.
We are in testing mode of migrating websites hosted with source plesk version 10.4.4 onto destination server plesk server 12.0.18 having (windows server 2012 R2).
What we did, we restored the backup of Source plesk version 10.4.4 (windows server 2008) to Destination plesk version 12.0.18 MU#23 built.
Now the problem is that backup which we restored on Destination plesk version 12.0.18 MU#23 was of 68 GB and now when we setup the backup on Destination plesk version 12.0.18 MU#23 and when backup completes successfully it show us wrong backup size up to 16 GB.
We have requested several times to plesk support has to check the entire new plesk version in terms of all feature (like taking backup, restoring, plesk installation etc) while releasing new version, If they have noticed bug than plesk support should not release new version or micro update until they are sure.
I would request them again to check backup size bug along with other bugs.
1. "Stats crashing and not updating stats"
2. installing "Spam assassin" on Plesk 12.0.18 on windows server 2012 r2 and we are getting error:
Error: Unable to set Plesk SpamAssassin 3.3.2 as the default Spam Filter: defpackagemng failed: Execute spammng.exe --check failed with error code 1: Unable generate the unique file name by template D:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskAdditionalPerlsiteetcmailspamassassinlocal.cf[*].bak: directory D:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskAdditionalPerlsiteetcmailspamassassin does not exist.

I've also tried the config that the Plesk panel provides like the case in this thread, I get the same results: URL....

I am setting up a new server and started to migrate domains from an 11.x plesk server to this new server with plesk 12.x on it. Everything works fine, domains, users, mailboxes, everything is migrated - except the horde settings inside the webmail. I recognized this after my first login into webmail, normally the inbox is shown (I configured my webmaoil this way) but after the migration this setting is lost - including all other settings. How to migrate this settings?

I've setup Bind 9.10.1 on a windows server as a slave DNS server. I've installed the Slave DNS Manager on Plesk 12 for Linux and setup configuration.
New zones are added ok so authentication en communication is working perfectly. But when I delete a zone in Plesk, the zoneconfig file doesn't get deleted on the windows server. I can see the windows eventlog saying "received control channel command 'delzone <domain>'" where <domain> is the zone I deleted. But after that noting. And I see errors after a while because of bind trying to transfer the deleted zone again. The zonefile isn't deleted from c: amedzones...

If a shell script is run via the Plesk Events Manager, where does STDOUT & STDERR go? (assuming that nothing in the script itself is redirecting it)
Does it get automatically sent to /dev/null?
Does it get written to a file somewhere?
Is having a script produce output when run from Plesk Event Manager likely to cause any problems?
