• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Backup files too small

I am new to plesk and having an issue with the backup feature. I've spent an hour searching these forums with no luck so I'll post and see if anyone has run into this before.

I have three clients, using 2 gigs, 700 megs, and 4 gigs.

If I backup the entire server using the pleskbackup command, the resulting file is 64 megs, if I backup the 2 gig client using the plesk backup option in the client's panel, the resulting file is 46 megs.

I'm quite sure it's not getting everything, as the 2 gig client is almost entirely jpegs and zip files which are compressed already!

What am I missing here? I'm guessing it's a permission issue but I have no idea what that'd entail.
