  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

Question DUMP_D content large despite no local backups

In the Plesk backup directory DUMP_D I find these files and directories that total 385 GB although no local backups exist in the backup manager.

Code:
total 106632

Most of the data is included in clients and domains. Can these directories safely be deleted so that the next backup will still work as expected? Or do these need to remain in he DUMP_D directory for some reason, e.g. to calculate incremental backups correctly or in a timely manner?
