I've been reading through various posts about the backup manager as I've got this running as a scheduled back-up for a selection of domains, on to a local FTP server.
Does anyone know whether the backup file created is a FULL backup of everything (including domain config and settings AND databases associated with the domain - including full db tables and content)? The reason I ask is that the backups for domains with databases seem very small, compared with the size of the databases. Is this just efficient compression? I only have the one Plesk box, so I cannot really test a restore with an identically named database on to the same box.
Also, does anyone know whether the backup service would be dumping huge amounts of data on to my HD? A couple of larger domains have massively increased in used disk space since I started using the backup, but I cannot see where these additional files might be - nor do I understand why that might be the case.
Someone else said they had a large amount of data being dumped on to their HD as a result of using the backup, but this was a while back and seemed to have been patched. I have the latest Plesk updates installed.
Thanks.
