Up until recently we were given 1 TB of FTP-space with each server we are renting at a popular provider.
They stopped doing that.
Because we're not using much space on the 2 TB that's available on each server I thought of using the several Plesk servers as a back-up themselves.
I first thought of syncing software like syncthing or resilio sync, but these services want to have write access in those folders. Because I don't want to run these services as root, this is a no go.
Some of the files that are in that folder don't even have write access for root, BTW.
I then thought of creating a dedicated subscription with a special FTP-account.
But this has a downside that this folder gets back-upped on the target server. That's something I don't want. Maybe I should create an FTP-account outside of Plesk's scope, but I still need to investigate how to do that in an elegant way.
What are you doing???
