Plesk 12.x / Linux :: How To Include More Directories In Backup With Backup Manager
Feb 11, 2015
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 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 ...

So I was trying to look up something from the horde Databases just to find that the full server backup that can be triggered in "tools & settings" -> "backup manager" does NOT include the horde and roundcube databases, even with "configuration and content" selected.
Sure, there are 7 days worth of daily backups in /var/lib/dumps but it would be nice to have those files included in the "full backup" Or am I missing something here?

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 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:
File PMMConnector.php
Line708
TypePleskPMMResponseException
Apparently the backups are not saved anymore either.

I have 2 problems:
Firstly I wonder if there is any possibility to limit the number of cores the plesk backup zipping tool uses? This pigz takes up all my CPU. Is there any way I can reduce the amount of cores it uses because all my websites are down every time a backup takes place for around 3 minutes.
Secondly I get the following in my syslog:
1 baby plesk sendmail[20189]: Error during 'check-quota' handler
I don't know what is wrong. I think it's since the upgrade to Plesk 12. I now have 12.0.18 Update #13.

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 created a backup using the backup manager in plesk panel (~4Gb). When I click the green arrow on the right to download, I get transfered to another page that suggests I should enter a password to protect my backup. No matter if I enter a password or skip this security option, I get back to the backup manager overview, but the download doesn't start. There is no error message. Just nothing happens. I also searched in /opt/psa/admin/logs for an error log, but there is none.
From another thread I read the owner should be psaadm for /var/lib/psa as well as /var/lib/psa/dumps (and files/subfolders), on my server the owner is root for all those. But that thread was for plesk 8.

My backups aren't working for days now. I have noticed that on current backup status there is one backup stuck at 100% for several days now and it is preventing new scheduled backups from working.
there is no way to delete that backup, so how can I fix this, without rebooting the whole server?

I am having issues with the plesk backup manager. I set up my personal FTP personal repository in tools & settings, then backup manager. My ftp is secure with a specific port. here are my options:
FTP server hostname or IP: myipaddress":"port without quotes. Directory for backup files storage: complete also used /complete. Both correct username and password
Use passive mode checked
Use FTPS checked
Use password protection checked
Here is my scenario:
Personal FTP repository backups are set up with:
Create a multivolume backup
Volume size: 2047
Store backup in: Personal FTP Repository
max number of backups: 1
For some reason when I manually backed up the server with server repository, my storage went from 14gb to 6gb.. I have zero backups in both server repository and personal FTP repository because I deleted them. Now its stuck at 6gb, which seems that the backup is stored somewhere in the system and is not deleted.Where can I find this backup? I am using CentOS.

We have a problem with a Plesk backup. We have about 300 domains, the scheduled task starts 23.30 and takes about 16 hours and thats not normal. Before it took about 9-10 hours for 'All configuration and content' and that was too long, so we set up for 'All configuration and content except mail'. It worked for a few days and then it started to take 14 - 16 hours for a server backup. We use Plesk 11.5 on CentOS 6 64bit.

A load of my domains were backed up last night and they have been suspended ever since. I have tried the following:
1. Domains -> Backup Manager -> Back Up
2. tick off the box to the left of "Suspend domain until backup task is completed"
3. Tick off the box to the left of "Domain configuration"
4. Click "Back Up".
...That did not fix it
I've tried suspending/activating the domains, but I just receive "Error: Unable to activate the domain: The domain is suspended."
I've also logged into MySQL PSA database and run "update domainaliases set status=0 where status=2;" ...That did not fix it
I have checked and /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf/httpd.include file is missing.
I have also run the following command: /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all
That did not fix it
if I try "/usr/local/psa/bin/domain -u mydomain.com -status enabled" I receive the following error message...
An error occurred during domain update: Turn on domain failed: /usr/share/tomcat5/conf/server.xml:1451: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document vice>
tomcatmng: Unable to parse tomcat server config /usr/share/tomcat5/conf/server.xml
I'm on the latest 11.0.9 Update #63

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?
