Question Backup copy in two places

[llucas]

Server operating system version

Debian 11.11

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64

Hello, good morning

I have a question about backups. I've been using Plesk for a while and I have a question. What is the difference between making copies of the domain and doing it through the PLESK tools?

If I do it per domain, I have it set to make a copy at 03:00 A.M. and it does so and then I have another copy on the server set at 04:00 A.M.

They take up almost the same amount of space. Are they the same copies? and why do I have two copies.

Thanks for your help, greetings,

I attach two screenshots

Hi Luis,

The fundacioncarf.org webspace/subscription has it's own Plesk backup plan. You also have a server wide backup plan. That is why you have 2 backups for the same website.
If you take server wide backups, then disable the website backup plan or move it to a more useful time, as far away as possible from the server wide backup. However, that will use additional disk space.
I also recommend using remote storage for the Backup storage.

Thank you very much Raul for your help.

I leave the server copy and it does everything for me.

Good day!!
Luis
