• Please be aware: Kaspersky Anti-Virus has been deprecated
    With the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64, "Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Servers" will be automatically removed from the servers it is installed on. We recommend that you migrate to Sophos Anti-Virus for Servers.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.
  • We’re working on enhancing the Monitoring feature in Plesk, and we could really use your expertise! If you’re open to sharing your experiences with server and website monitoring or providing feedback, we’d love to have a one-hour online meeting with you.

Issue Backup Manager Schedule

NevilleM

New Pleskian
In the Backup Manager > Schedule, we have setup Keep backup files for 5 weeks - before the upgrade to Onyx, these used to be deleted automatically from the FTP storage.

However since the upgrade the backup files in the FTP storage so not get deleted hence after 7/8 the FTP starts failing due to low disk space. Do we have the enable or disable something to have the backup manager delete the old files from the FTP storage?
 
Hi NevilleM,

Do we have the enable or disable something to have the backup manager delete the old files from the FTP storage?
If a standart "disable" and "re-enable" procedure for the scheduled task doesn't already solves your issue, pls. consider to attach the latest backup - log - file, so that people willing to help you have something to start with the investigations.
 
Checked the logs:

Issue
1 - Unable to find last incremental backup, because of current backup has no version mark in the file name
Seems to be documented here - Backup error in Plesk 12.5: The backup was not created

Issue 2

Hi NevilleM,

pls. post your output of the command ( logged in as user "root" over SSH ):
Code:
plesk version
 
Code:
Product version: Plesk Onyx 17.0.17 Update #22
    Update date: 2017/04/14 12:55
     Build date: 2017/03/22 17:00
     OS version: CentOS 6.4

Hi NevilleM,

hm... actually, your error
Code:
Curl error: (31) FTP: command REST failed: Last FTP request: REST 1986353395: Last FTP response: 502 Command not implemented
... points to a known previous bug, which should have been solved with "Plesk Onyx 17.0.17 Update 21" (PPPM-5919) .
Pls. consider to us the command:
Code:
plesk installer --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --install-component base
... to reinstall all previous patches and updates and create another manual FULL backup afterwards, to see, if this already solved your issue.
 
I just ran the suggested command without problem. Will wait for tonight's scheduled update and will report what happens
 
Hi NevilleM,

again, I assume that creating a FULL backup manually should solve the issue, as you have to have at least one FULL backup without issues/errors/problems. The error messages:
Code:
File dump-header not found on first position in archive
... point to missing parts, which you should be existent, because incremental backups only backup changes to the latest backup. ;)

Pls. consider to read as well: => Incremental Backup


After ( successfully ) creating ONE FULL backup, consider as well to move all other backups into a separate folder ( i.e. /backup.backup ) and when the next automatic scheduled backup has been finished without issues, you are save to delete the "/backup.backup" folder. :)
 
Hi UFHH01

- The moved old backups files to another folder.
- create a Full backup on ftp
- log file increased in size from 1.5 Meg to 113 Megs
- a lot of strange errors as per below
- it was copied into ftp without problems
