BackUp Fails!

[dsa411]

When i try to create a backup of my current plesk domains i get

Error: Unable to create backup session: Specified file is not accessible

I have seen some topics for plesk 8.1 but the one fix i followed did not work. Any help is appreciated.

How are you trying to run your backup, through Plesk Control Panel or the command line?

I do my server backup through the command line.

If you are doing it through the command line what is the command you are using?

Post back and I will help... if I can!

I was attempting to make the backup using the plesk control panel. I was reading some where else that it may have some thing to do with plesk not having write permissions to the proper folders. the article i was reading just didn't saw which ones.

Well what type of backup were you trying to do, clients, domains, select clients and/or domains, etc? You can not do a full server backup from the control panel, at least I do not believe you can. I have had to do my full server backups through the command line by logging in as root and running this Plesk backup tool:

# the directory where Plesk bin is
cd /usr/local/psa/bin

# to backup everything on the server
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup --all /backup/plesk_backup/[FILE_NAME]

It is important that you make or specify a directory where you want the <BackupFileName> to go, I created a backup directory at the / level, then with in it /backup/plesk_plesk....

Does this help?

Yea it helps. I am just relieved to at least be able to make a backup whether its the plesk CP or not. Thanks for your help!
