  • 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.

Resolved Backup With Cron

karam

Basic Pleskian
Hello pleskians,

So, am running the following command :
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup --server -backup-password MYPASS -incremental -description 'Cron Backup' -s -output-file ext://xxxxxxx/

and I got several questions :

1- MYPASS isn't wrapped by quotes, is that okay for pleskbackup command ?
2- MYPASS is the same as the one I have set in the Plesk UI settings, and it's incrementing backups above the initiated scheduled ones, is it stable ?

My concerns are the inconsistencies with backups, as I have scheduled backup running daily 1 time and that command running each X hours, (They don't overlap though) but my concern is specifically to the backup password.. to make my question simple.... Does setting MYPASS value in the command line as equal to the password in Plesk UI for scheduled backups IS CONSISTANT ?

Thank you.
 
1. Yes, as long as you don't have any special characters, ie, spaces or !
2. Yes, that's fine.

As far as backup integrity goes, you should regularly test your backups either way.
