• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Backup seems too small

We are running 10.3.1 and doing a full server backup (server config and content) each night. The backup size is only between 7-8Gb but the /vhosts folder alone is over 50Gb. A lot of the data on the websites is PDF (so already compressed). Doesn't seem right to me.

Anybody able to give some guidance?

Also what is in the /vhosts/servers folder (sorry a bit of a noob question but can't get my head around it and it makes up a lot of the /vhosts total).

Thanks

Colin
 
If the backup is shown as valid in Plesk then all the data should be there.

But to confirm I would access your server and go to your backup folder location on your drive. From here you can go to clients -> user name -> domains -> phosting -> zip folder for vhost . If you don't have any clients then you can just go to the domains folder instead of clients.
 
/vhosts/servers is used for FTP. If you delete it all FTP accounts will stop working.
 
Thanks - I just wondered why it was so, big! We have a number of users who FTP PDFs up so that would explain it. Are the folders symlinked?
