  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Please help me how can I resolve this error or is their any other way to upload my file on backup manager?

If you are getting such error while uploading a file in the website, then I suggest you to follow the below steps:

Take the backup of the configuration file of the NGINX

# cp /etc/nginx/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.bkp
Add client_max_body_size 0; (or 100m) to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and reload nginx proxy server using the below command:
# /etc/init.d/nginx reload

(Note: If 'client_max_body_size' entry is not there in the above file, then you can simply insert it under 'http {' section )

If you are getting such error while uploading a file in Plesk Panel (not while uploading in website), I suggest you to follow the below steps:

Increase 'client_max_body_size' value accordingly in '/etc/sw-cp-server/config' config file, for e.g. if the file's size is 4.5GB, you can set the value to 5120m (5120MB).

# grep client_max_body_size /etc/sw-cp-server/config
client_max_body_size 5120m;
