Hi,

I want to execute a sciript file at the end of a backup task.
There is no option to do that in the plesk desktop, so is ther a way to do that ?

Check related event in Event Manager.

Hi, thank for your answer.
I 'm out of the office so i can only say by memory.
In my memory, in the event manager, there is nothing talking about backups. I can post the select content later .
Or May be is it managed on other Event name?

This list semme to be the same of the official one, and for me there is nothing about backup, but i never used the event manager, so may be im wrong.

Can you help me ?

 

[IgorG]

Indeed, no any backup related event. For some reason I thought that it is there.
Maybe this scenario will be suitable How to run a task after the scheduled backup

Thanks Igor,

But i'm in same case of JulianP, i can't put all sites offline during backup task.

Another solution is to execute backup by crontab. In this case, i must find a command line that create a complete server backup, Plesk compatible.
My actual task is :
- Incremential backup
- Run daily
- Make full backup each week
- Keep files for 4 weeks
- Backup all (domains, mails setting+data, files+DB)
- Store in /var/lib/psa/dumps

So is there a way to make this backup via command line ?

Thanks

 

[fabkim]

I found this command line in Plesk documentation :

plesk bin pleskbackup server

If i use it on sunday for exemple, and the same with --incremental option on other days, did it make same job than by Plesk interface ?

 

[IgorG]

did it make same job than by Plesk interface ?

Yes, but some additional options may be required. Check it out in the documentation.

Hi,
I will use these commands for complete and incremental backups
plesk bin pleskbackup server --prefix="xxxxx" --description="xxxxx" --exclude-logs
plesk bin pleskbackup server --prefix="xxxxx" --description="xxxxx" --exclude-logs --incremental

Do you think they are equals to plesk admin => tools and settings => backup manager ? I'm talking about datas backed up (except logs). I know i must create the cron

Yes, it looks the same.
