  • 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.

Critical: vhost directories missing from backups on multiple servers (MU 46/47)

ShoneA

Basic Pleskian
Update: Backups still broken as of MU#55, which is supposed to "fix" the backup manager.

Three of our four servers are not backing up the vhost directories when the backup manager runs. This is extremely critical as we basically have no backups on most of our servers at the moment.

psadump.log creating that tmp file above, no error was reported around this line:
  • [178689]: 06:05:05 INFO Executing bundle producer: 'su appliancejobs --shell /bin/bash -c "/bin/tar -f - -c --anchored -X '/tmp/filePEAk3e' *"' in /var/www/vhosts/website.com
  • Full psadump log available here: http://pastebin.com/hpwwhaSE
but it fails afterwards...

Any idea what's wrong? Is there a log somewhere for why the tar job failed?
