Resolved Creating FTP storage to use as remote backup location for another server

[Endre]

Is it possible to set up FTP storage on Plesk to use as remote backup location for another server?
I have one VPS at DigitalOcean's datacenter in Frankfurt and another at Aruba Cloud datacenter in Poland. Both VPS run Plesk Obsidian. I want to create remote backup location for each server on the another one.

I don't see why not. Give it try and see how it goes.

you might need to add some exclusions so you don't backup the backups.

Yes, I did that.
Steps I made it work:

• Created a 'backup-of-other-server' directory inside a domain root folder.
• Set up an FTP user with the home directory set to the above folder.
• Exclude the above folder from the domain and server backup jobs.
• Set up the remote FTP option in backup settings of the other server using the above FTP user.

It works but I am not sure if there can be any side effects I did not think of.
Also I thought this could be done easier if it would be a common issue.
