Hi,

i have Plesk 8 on Suse 10 working. If i tell Plesk to autom. Backup my Client at 3.00 every night he does it 1x at 3.00 BUT the next day he backup at 3.15 .. the follow day at 3.30 .. What is this and is there a solution for this bug?
 
I would just run teh pleskbackup utility from a manually setup cron. I have a shell script that runs pleskbackup --all /tmp/file which then tarbalsl it up onto an NFS share. Its a bit more complicated than that, but thats how I use it in a basic form. As I said, I would create a shell script to run the pleskbackup utilty or call it directly from cron at a specified time every night. If you still have time drift, I'd say theres something wrong with your system clock or NTP if you utilize it.

How I would set it up, keep in mind this backs up everything and not just client level.
Basic setup (as ROOT):
crontab -e
0 3 * * * /pathtopleskroot/bin/pleskbackup --all /pathtofile/filename

I personally don't trust a lot of the new gui stuff they introduce. When alls said and done, the CP executes the pleskbackup utility anyhow.

For the client backup its almost the same see here: http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/Plesk8.0/Doc/plesk-8-backup-restore-users-guide/18900.htm

Thx

dhub, do you still have this problem, with PBM updates installed? Tell me please a psa-backup-manager's package buildnumber...
 
Backup manager No.

Sorry not able to reply you earlier. I got a very serious problem now! - backup could not work after upgrading to plesk 8.0.1!

Saw my disk full and received a plesk system email - cannot log FTP account .. cannot backup.

I got to solve the disk problem first as I could not even able to login to plesk admin.

Any idea.

Backup Manager version - 8.0.1-fc2.build80060713.16.

Using FC2, Plesk 8.0.1

I keep getting this backup problem whereby disk became full.

- received email logs for every domain continuously:
e.g Domain: xxx.com
Plesk entry point: https://xen2.com:8443/

Following error is occured during scheduled backup process:

Couldn't resolve host 'ftp:'

Checked the dump folder /var/lib/psa/dumps/ and found folder 0, 1 ,2, 3, 4.. etc. taking lots of diskspace with dump files.

So far, I use only backup to local directory, not using any ftp account at all!

How can I stop the backup manager for the time being?

Going crazy! Plesk development team - could you post some immediate help or advise?!
