Bump.

In my storage space for Plesk local backups I have room for two full backups plus two months worth of incremental backups. Accordingly, I have set my backup settings and the corresponding setting in the daily backup task to the following: Maximum number of full backup files to store (including...

What I meant to say is it works this way when entered directly in the webinterface's Additional configuration directives section, no need to change config files.

It works if you preceed it like this: [php-fpm-pool-settings] env[PATH] = /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

Just in case somebody reads this: Yes, I unintentionally backed up the backup directory with every incremental backup. So it was a user error and this may be closed.

When filling out the report it dawned on me that it may have been my own fault. When you use the local FTP server you can only use a data directory in user space. Which, at the next backup, is backed up, too. So I have to exclude this directory from my backups. Will test this now and report back.

*bump* No reaction, this is telling, folks.

*bump* Any ideas, anyone? I don't have bug reporting privileges, will someone from the team consider adding it?

For reasons having to do with another issue, in order to split my backup into manageable pieces I have to use "external" backup storage but I am in fact using a local FTP account for this, so it ends up on the local storage space. In principle, it works fine the first time when it generates a...

No feelings hurt! Sorry if I was being too harsh before and thank you for taking the time to answer. :) I guess we have a difference in opinion. Under Linux/Unix, "local" folders cannot be assumed to always be truly local mass storage and may have different properties depending on what it is...

Oh, please .... https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/cli-linux/using-command-line-utilities/pleskbackup-backing-up-content-and-configuration.74260/ Exposing the --split option in the GUI would cost you NOTHING and would help customers such as myself. You could even block it by default but add an...

which we don't have and is more expensive than the whole server hosting plan. That's why I said "or expensive". This is in line with the "selective reading" I have come to expect from Plesk staff, though.

No doubt that not splitting up backups is the faster option and I am not saying it should be the default. But allowing this option, perhaps accompanied with a note saying exactly that would really help in many cases. Note that Plesk - to this day - still doesn't allow full encryption of backups...

Just as I feared, it doesn't work. The storage itself works fine but when I try to start a backup I get: The two curl commands that are suggested for testing also work fine, the first creates the directory in the storage, the second one removes it again. I assume something about timing and the...

Thank you for the tip, I had missed that! :)
