• 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.

Question Exclude files from backup (.ssh, directories above httpdocs/)

Paul Larson

Basic Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
Plesk version and microupdate number
Version 18.0.58 Update #2
Though it's minor, the daily warnings / log errors about Plesk not being able to backup .ssh files is a nuisance.

Since the .ssh dir is /var/www/vhosts/example.com/.ssh (that is, above httpdocs/), what syntax, if any, works for configuring Plesk to skip that dir?

Constant error is:

Code:
Unable to back up extension. Error: Failed to exec backup_restore_helper: Exit code: 1: Failed to copy files storage to destination path. stderr: filemng: Cannot open destination file '/var/www/vhosts/example.com/.ssh/id_rsa.VZRZtk'System error 13: Permission denied

I'm my Backup config, I list these directories to exempt:

/var/www/vhosts/example.com/.ssh/
.ssh
httpdocs/.ssh

Any other ideas?
 
It's actually root:root

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 22 17:30 .ssh

...which seems to be common across all my Plesk domains.
