  • 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.

Question Backup fails on system files

mr-wolf

In a website's user space I have made a system that will collect the latest configs from routers of our clients.
I can go to a password protected https website and access those configurations.
To access those routers I have a folder with config files containing credentials.

At this moment they are
Code:
rw....... root root
I fully understand that these files don't go with the backup.
I could put those maybe in the ignore as I don't really need a backup of them, but I don't want to give those normal read access in case the website gets hacked.
I can also place them outside of the userspace or use symbolic links.

What is the bare minimum of read access, so it will be backed up?
This maybe?
Code:
rw.r..... root psaserv

I don't feel comfortable with giving it the username of the webspace, but maybe that's overthinking.
