  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

hi, i've started getting errors in my nightly backups - never had this before. Looks like a Google issue, however, nothing has changed in my setup and it's been working like it is for over the last 3 years... never had an issue - any ideas from the error log snapped below??

Thanks... Tim

hi, no... i pitched the issue on here - just thought someone might have had the same experience/issue

i got another last night... not sure why, as we have 3 other plesk servers backing up to the same location and none are having a similar error.

Tim, I have a follow-up on that case as it was further investigated by our team. project_number:85843360160 is our project in Google that the Google Drive Backup extension uses for different API requests. The Queries per minute limit was reached lately - they are back to normal now and the issue should no longer persist. Our team is still looking into that in order to find a permanent fix.

The alternative here will be to use your own project so you can set your own API limits. In order to get full API control in Google Workspace a project needs to be created here. After the project creation, an OAuth 2.0 Client credentials should be created and the extension should be configure via panel.ini as follow:
  • if you want to use only personal drive
[ext-google-drive-backup]
personalName = MyProject
personalIdentity = {"web":{"client_id":"xxxxxxx","project_id":"my-project","auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth","token_uri":"https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token","auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs","client_secret":"xxxx","redirect_uris":["Confirm Sending Data"]}}

  • if you want to use shared drives too
[ext-google-drive-backup]
corporateName = MyProject
corporateIdentity = {"web":{"client_id":"xxxxxxx","project_id":"my-project","auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth","token_uri":"https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token","auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs","client_secret":"xxxx","redirect_uris":["Confirm Sending Data"]}}
