This issue is now gone, after removing the /root/.my.cnf file.
I got the hint from here

This luckily also helped with the cronjob issue. It did not cause...
Thanks for the feedback, Mehran.
We indeed had a /root/.my.cnf file with the password in it, like we do on every server (but those don't run Plesk...), to make admin life easier.
We'll have to wait until monday (weekly backup runs sunday night) to see if this solves the backup problem, but it...
I have the same problem for 3 weeks now, the only difference is that I get exit status 1 instead of 7.
When I executed /opt/psa/bin/mysqldump.sh manually for the first time, I got the following error messages:
[: 1: -eq: unexpected operator

what is the difference between a scheduled and a manual backup?

this is really getting annoying.

I updated to 10.1.1 this week, as 10.2.x was not offered by the autoinstaller.. So my idea of a new backup that also contains the address book will not work. I guess that this one user has to save his address book and create a new one after the migration.
Thank you, Sergey.
Well, if the options are not used in 10.x, I guess I can ignore all those messages. Am I right?
I just wonder why a backup from a 10.x system still contains those options.
I can't check his address book in Horde as I don't have his password and I don't wanna change it...
No, I didn't. I just followed this cli-guide

I've started the restore via the Web-GUI now and it seems to work. It really is much more easy and I can already see some restored data. So it looks good so...
Hello,
I'm trying to move a Plesk installation from a openSUSE 11.0 (OS no longer supported) to a Ubuntu 10.04.1 Server, but I keep getting an error message and I don't know why.
Here's what I did:
1) Upgrade of Plesk Panel on the old server from 9.5.2 to 10.0.1 (the new one is 10.0.1)...
