I am running Plesk 12 on CentOS 7 64bit. I have set up the server backup instead of the website backup as I assume that will backup all server settings, as well as the website? I am running Plesk Web Admin Edition.
I have the backup set to run and dump into Personal FTP, but it does not run. If I run the backup manually, everything works great, but the scheduled backups don't work.
I have the same problem again with plesk 11 [URL]
workaround
1) rpm -q --scripts psa-backup-manager | sed 1d | sh
2) /etc/init.d/crond restart
my error message with CentOS 5.8, Plesk 11.0.9 MU#4
sh: line 2315: syntax error near unexpected token `('
sh: line 2315: `preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):'

why do not work after you upgrade the backup cronjobs?
on one of our Plesk-Servers (Plesk 12.0.18 Update 34 on Debian 7.6) the scheduled backup stopped working. Scheduled Backup is active in Backup-Manager, but it's not executed.

I'm having troubles getting the global scheduled backup task to work at Home > Tools & Settings >Backup Manager > Server Repository.
At a subscription the scheduled backup works how it should.
Home > Subscriptions > example.com > Websites & Domains > Server Repository
The problem is as follows: When I set the scheduled task at a specific time example 00:00 it does not run at all. But when I just do "Create a backup" it does work...
I've done [URL] .... and everything in here is configured how it should be.
This is my configuration for scheduled task:
Cronjob is placed in : /etc/cron.d/plesk-backup-manager-task
Also did run: rpm -q --scripts psa-backup-manager | sed 1d | sh
This problem is only in the global backup configuration.
I have created a scheduled task as per my application guide as in the attached file. When i recieve the email it says the following:
: /var/www/vhosts/testdomain.co.uk/clients/admin/cron.php: No such file or directory
i have also tried appending:
php -q
wget -O (using the http to the location to cron.php)
Nothing seems to work.
I have transfered from cpanel and this is my first scheduled task and not getting anywhere with very little information on how to do this.
Im running:
Plesk 12
Linux
Sometimes I get this error:
Domain: mydomain.com
Plesk entry point: https://myserver.local:8443/
Following error is occurred during scheduled backup process:
[Errno 17] File exists: '/usr/local/psa/PMM/logs/backup-2014-06-18-23-30-05-556'
but in the backup.log and in the pmmcli.log I don't found any error.
What does it mean?
I'm looking to set up a schedulled backup from command line.
I haven't found the correct command, could you tell me if it's possible and how ?
Additional question: I'm looking too, to set for the server the max number backup file to save, do you know how to do it from cli ?
Plesk Backup work when we make instant backup but not with scheduled backup.
There is nothing in the log files (pmmcli.log & migration.log).
How can we correct?

I have an issue with my daily backup. I configured to have a daily backup on an external FTP server. Everything looks to work correctly but in the panel I see that the task is a 100% forever. Never finishing completely.. So the next day, the task is not starting.. I have to remove manually the task in backup manager screen.
here is the last lines of the log file (in /var/log/plesk/PMM/backup-2015-01-20-20-46-02-824)

My Centos server running Plesk12 is running scheduled backups every sunday 3AM.
The backup is configured so that it's created as a multivolume backup with a volume size of 2047MB.
The backup is placed on my Personal FTP repo (another plesk12 server mounted with big storage).
The backup content is configured to backup server config and content (all).
The problem I have is when the backup is running I can see that it creates the volumes and stores it locally. After it send all the volumes the the external FTP repo it will delete the local (tmp) data. See my attached screenshot for storage health during backup.
Is this behaviour normal? This way we can never run a backup to an external FTP repo when our server passed 50% storage. Is it not normal to:
- Create a volume
- Send it to FTP repo
- Delete volume locally
- Repeat until done
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've just migrated server to server but I didn't use the migration manager, I simply backed up each domain's content and restored those backups on the new server.
The issue I have run into is the scheduled tasks at the admin level (Tools & Settings > Scheduled Tasks) work but any schedule task under a domain do not. The scheduled tasks under the domains show as inactive (no green tick) and when I click to enable them, I get the following message
"Information: The scheduled task Google Product Feed Daily Scheduled Task was switched on."
If I then look at the page, even though the above message says it is, the scheduled task is still not enabled. Going into the scheduled task and switching it on there results in the same message, but it doesn't switch on.
How to rebuild all of the scheduled tasks within Plesk?
Currently Installed: v. 12.0.18
Since moving to version 12 on the remote FTP backup is not working.
This makes the tar of 50K ~

Can ftp to the FTP server from the command line without any problem.
get / put / ls etc all work.
Configure Plesk Backup Personal FTP repository with same server / username / password.
Get the following messages in Plesk:

This is on a CentOS 7.1, Plesk 12. New.
On Plesk 10.4 I had a script that backed up my MySQL databases separately. The script doesn't work now. I get an error:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Do I need to do something different with this new "MariaDB" thing?
Here's the script:
DB_BACKUP="/pat/to/databackup/`date +%Y-%m-%d`"
DB_USER="admin"
DB_PASSWD="-p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow`"
HN=`hostname | awk -F. '{print $1}'`

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.
Automatic Parallels Plesk. 12.0.18 has stopped working but no solution from plesk yet? I think every user has the same problem. Many people asked the same question but no solution/answer from plesk.

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...

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 recently updated from 11.5 to 12. After the update, my simple "Websites & Domains->Scheduled Tasks" is no longer executing.
I verified that the task is still present in Plesk and enabled.
The simple task launches one of my PHP web pages to perform an action:
(set to once a day: Min=30, H=7, DM=*, M=*, DW=*)
wget --quiet --delete-after "http://www.MYWEBSITE.com/some/path/index.php?someparam=somevalue"
This cron job had been working fine for more than a year but stopped working after the update.
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.
Plesk version: 11.5.30 Update #44
We have a VPS with Centos 5 and Plesk 12.0.18.

The task is a simple WGET command.

I have a client that is running backup exec. They have 2 scheduled jobs in the system. One of them runs, and one does not.
It is skipping over the job. If you watch the timer for the backups, it counts down, 2 mins, 1 min. Then jumps to 60 mins. No errors or anything reported in the logs.
Again, the other backup job runs perfectly fine and a manual job runs as well.
my plesk server was running OK for the last 13 months and suddenly it breaks apart on its own and I cant make it work again. [URL]
Is there a way to backup database at this stage? How?
Planning to reformat my windows server. and start over.
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 ...
