Resolved Cannot perform plesk backup

[Sidney Disney]

Logs say:

Not all the data was backed up into /backup/dump successfully. Total space: 60.00 GB; Available space: 56.00 GB; Mounted on: /. sh: /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/sw-tar: No such file or directory

I checked and the file /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/sw-tar doesn't exist

I've tried these commands but no luck

plesk installer --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --upgrade-installed-components
plesk repair installation
plesk repair fs

Support helped me on this, figured it would be good to mention the solution here;

/etc/psa/psa.conf

needed to be updated, and point to the new location of the Tar binary.

# Tar binary
TAR_BIN /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/sw-tar

needed to be changed to

# Tar binary
TAR_BIN /bin/tar

this can be achieved with the following commands via SSH

1. Create the backup of /etc/psa/psa.conf:
# cp -rp /etc/psa/psa.conf /etc/psa/psa.conf.back
2. Change the variable:
# sed -i 's/TAR_BIN \/usr\/lib\/plesk-9.0\/sw-tar/TAR_BIN \/bin\/tar/g' /etc/psa/psa.conf
