Changing Plesk update folder

[Franco]

Hello,
due to unreliable ftp connections I recently decided to use NFS mount for my backups. All my backups are finally regular, consistent, stable and reliable. no more blockages and hung processes lasting days.

Only issue is described here: http://kb.odin.com/en/124578 (valid on Plesk 12.5.30 too), as instead of psaadm my nfs folder is owned by drweb user (sic!). I read about nfs uid setups, which is quite complicated to do. If some has a brilliant idea I'd like to hear.
However, perhaps the easiest is to change the folder which Plesk uses for its updates, but I could not find any information about it. Is it possible and how, please?

Regards...

Hi,
I have the same issue with My Plesk 12 backups, since I moved my PSA dumps directory onto a NAS (though, I'm using CIFS, rather than NFS). http://talk.plesk.com/threads/plesk-auto-updater-fails-when-using-nas-for-plesk-backups.334935/

I get the same permissions issue when the Plesk updater runs some MYSQL backups prior to running it's update. I hadn't found that KB article, however, so that's interesting to see.

I have found no resolution, so have been doing the far-from-ideal workaround of setting PSA dumps back to default location, running PSA updater, editing PSA dumps back to the NAS disk.

The file you need to edit is /etc/psa/psa.conf, the DUMP_D value.

Sure, me too I am using that far from ideal workaround. That's why I am asking whether or not there is a way to tell plesk to use a different update folder.
Any other suggestion is welcome, please.
