Hello, I'm getting this errors for every subscription/domain after a backup was initiated:

go to your domain directory /var/www/vhosts/<domain>/ use ls -al to display the directory. There you will see the usernames check whether the directory has the username first "Name" in the display.

Code:
ls -al /pathtoyourdomain/

Next, compare the name with the directories where you have “permission denied”.

If there are other names than the main user name of the FTPS / SSH from the domain, you should run

Code:
chown -R <usernameofdomain>:psaserv ./<pathtoyourbackupfolder>

check the directory permissions and if necessary change them with:

Code:
chmod -R 755 ./pathtoyourbackupfolder

be careful with -R it recursiv
 
@ChristophRo, could you please open a support ticket on this? As there have been other issues with the backup since 18.0.57 I am not sure whether this is a new bug that needs to be addressed, or whether this is part of existing bug(s) that are already known and will be fixed by a microupdate.
 
Plesk 18.0.57 WordPress toolkit works as expected for me

no error like this:
Code:
.wp-toolkit/backups: Cannot stat: Permission denied

Everything is set to psaserv. So I think it's a bug.

If somebody will do this, pls use "plesk repair fs" afterwards! Not every directory of the domains are "psaserv" but "psacln"!
 
Only the document root directories are psaserv based, the files and directories underneath document roots are owned by the psacln group.
