Issue Dropbox backup high cpu usage

DylanJ

New Pleskian
I upgraded yesterday to Onyx and all looked to have gone smoothly. However, since this morning when Dropbox backups were scheduled to start on the server the CPU usage has gone through the roof.

6549 mysql 20 0 2809m 460m 6424 S 171.0 1.4 83:42.62 mysqld
12919 root 20 0 7145m 6.7g 944 R 58.0 21.5 23:22.96 perl
11513 root 20 0 10.4g 10g 944 R 57.7 32.1 35:03.89 perl
15279 root 20 0 2094m 1.8g 948 R 57.7 5.9 6:26.24 perl
15672 root 20 0 1702m 1.5g 952 R 57.7 4.7 5:12.57 perl

I was first alerted to the problem with the high MySQL usage but on investigation I think the root cause is Dropbox backup.

If I run "ps aux | grep dropbox-backup" I can see the tasks listed and they are stuck on the same domain. If I kill the processes then it just moves on to the next and gets stuck on those.

I disabled the extension but the tasks are still queued up somewhere and I'm still having the same problems.
 
On further inspection the backups failed with the following error "Runtime error: Could not run make dump with pmmcli[Illegal seek]" which I see may be a problem with Perl/Python, hence why I posted in the Plesk Onyx forum as this has occurred immediately after upgrading
