• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Issue Backup Anomaly

Plesk Onyx now allows us to exclude certain files and directories from backing up.

I have spoken to Plesk today and they confirm that if you do a domain and full server backup you need to enter the exclude directory location twice. Once in the domain backup area and the other in the server backup area.

What's more if you entered the following in the server backup area it would exclude the location on all domains on the server /httpdocs/aaa/bbb

There is no way to exclude it just from domain x for example when doing a full server backup.

  1. Why is there a requirement to enter the same directory information into the server backup area? Why can't Plesk just assume if you have entered the exclusion on domain x, then when it does the full server backup it excludes the same directory on domain x?
  2. Entering a directory in the server backup area shouldn't exclude the directory on every domain on the server. What happens if we don't want to do that?
I think the new Onyx backup exclude feature is flawed.
