  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

Backup Concerns

Plesk 8.2, Fedora 7.

When initiating a backup the CPUs in the server are pegged. The gzip process runs @ 99% and this continues thru the backup. The site backup footprint is nearly 3GB and grows everyday.

Is there a way to nice the backup? Can I just tar & gz the site contents and not rely on Plesk backup? I cannot afford to lose the horsepower, even @ 4:00am.

Any thoughts?

Also, on one scheduled backup did not complete and Plesk was caught in a loop, it's only to retain 2 backups but made 14 of them in attempts to complete. This eventually brought the server down and 100% outage.
 
Also, if I want to totally remove the plesk backup cron, is this entry:

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/backupmng >/dev/null 2>&1

From the root cron, the only one I need to remove?
