• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

Issue Exclude directories from scheduled serverwide backups

robotic

New Pleskian
Hi, I want to exclude directories in a domain from a scheduled serverwide backup.
I tried (Plesk root is under /mnt/vhosts/ on that server)

/mnt/vhosts/domain.com/*
/mnt/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/*
/domain.com/*
*/domain.com/*
domain.com/httpdocs/*
/domain.com/httpdocs/*

But its still backing up everything.

P.S.:
IMHO it would make much more sense, if one could pick what to include in a backup, using the same UI you got for the restore dialog.

I don't think so, there's a textbox in the scheduling dialog to provide paths to exclude, allowing wildcards, but it does nothing.
 
I'd rather prefer to have the UI to select what to backup, than what to exclude.
And I've tried all of the above path variations and nothing was excluded.
I'll open a report, thanks.
 
yeah this is very wrong, how come that exclude box doesnt works for domains? doesnt make any sense, then how people exclude domains? always opening a terminal to run a CLI command?
