  • 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 had a search around but cant find anyone with this issue (apart from really old threads) the backups failed on this server on the 7th, however this is not being reflected it in the portal, usually it FTP's the backup to a remote site but its failed and moved it locally, as its supposed to but there is no trace of it on the portal for me to remove this now

the only guide i could find is this one

[solved] How to Delete Plesk Backups | Craig Edmonds

which says to just delete everything in

/var/lib/psa/dumps


But im a bit reluctant to do so without any guidance, has anyone had this before. The disk is nearly full so i need to get it removed asap.

Thanks
Liam

I see a lot of pre-upgrade dumps of Plesk database apsc in /var/lib/psa/dumps
Looks like there were many unsuccessful upgrade attempts. It is safe to delete these dumps if all works fine now and Plesk was successfully upgraded.
 
Hi Igor

Cheers for the reply, yeah all looks good since the upgrade, is it safe to delete everything in /var/lib/psa/dumps in that case, there is around 21gb in total it all looks like backup data, there is a .discovered and a resellers folder left now the sql.gz files have been deleted

Regards
Liam
