Hi everyone.

I recognized, that my Plesk Osidian 18.0.57 makes much more backups than defined in the settings and fills up my disc:

5 are defined. But Plesk is making more than that.
Any suggestions?

THX in advance.

Hi @TheFreeman, could you please show us the list of backups that are actually stored?

I suggest to disable the backup job, wait 24 hours and then check what the backups have done. My guess is that they continue to back-up something, which means that another backup job is defined. That could be a CLI based command, e.g via cron.

 

[TheFreeman]

But which one.
I only found standard crons. I added nothing there.

With "disable the backup job" I meant to uncheck the "Diese Backup-Aufgabe aktivieren" checkbox and to store that new setting so that the backup task is no longer executed. Then wait a day and check whether backups are still created although the backup job has been deactivated.

 

[TheFreeman]

OK, then there is no backup created any more.OK, then there is no backup created any more.

If you now turn it back on and wait a day, does it create more full backups? It's o.k. if it does an increment and - as your screenshot shows - a maximum number of five full backups, but it should not do the sixth full backup.

Hey! WTF!?
Thank you! Now it is working.
