Backup Manager – Certain subdomains not getting backed up

[Bruno Cloutier]

We are trying to setup backups on our VPS server. Everythings gets backed up, except for certain subdomains. We use this server to host our website, but also as a web development platform on which we code clients websites. Our data structure is as follow.

1. We have a domain created we use to host our website, on which many subdomains have been created.
2. Our website (www.bureau-principal.com) is located in /httpdocs (this is backed up).
3. We have a zone for clients (clients.bureau-principal.com) located in /clients (this is backup up).
4. We have an FTP zone (ftp.bureau-principal.com) located in /ftp (this is backed up).
5. Lastly, we have all of our currently in-developement websites located in /dev. Each subdomain we create uses the following URL structure ' projectname.dev.bureau-principal.com ' and is located in /dev. So /dev/projectname.dev.bureau-principal.com. Everything located in this folder is not backed up.

We have identified the location of the things that are not backed up, but we have no idea why.

Finally found the issue. We we’re storing in-development projects in a folder called /dev. Apparently, this folder will not be backed up. We changed the name of this folder and rebuild part of our Plesk installation and everything works fine.
