• 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.

Backupmng CPU high load

Hi forum,

since the upgrade to Plesk 9.3 I've a problem with the Backup Manager. Every time I start a scheduled backup to the server repository, the CPU get a high load from 99,8% and the backupmng hangs up. On the console you can see, that there was a broken pipe for the backup job.
Following steps I test before I start a thread:
- remove and reinstall psa-backupmanager. --> nothing changes
- check the disk space in /var/lib/psa/dumps. --> there're 5 GB free space and I need only 150MB for a backup
- install newest versions of perl and python.

Does anyone have other ideas??

Greets,
Michael
 
Need more details. Did you tried to find a most of hardloaded process during backup procedure?
 
actually Load during backup-process

Well. As I see it is plesk_agent_manager process. Did you tried to find something suspicious in migration logs?
 
I've checked the migration.log, the psadump.log & the stderr in the session directory. In the migration.log there is no error or warning, but in the psadump.log und the stderr there is an entry "gzip: stdout: Broken pipe".
Can it be, that the gzip-package have an error?

Greets,
Michael
 
There are can be different reasons of "gzip: stdout: Broken pipe"message. Is there are any error messages before "gzip: stdout: Broken pipe"?
 
there is no other message before the gzip-error pops up. I also reinstall the the gzip-package but there is no change at the error. :-(
 
Seems investigation by support team is required there.
 
I find a workaround. I just remove the migration manager und reinstall the backup-manager. Now it work without any problems.
