Server operating system version

Windows Server 2012

Plesk version and microupdate number

Obsidian 18.0.52

After install "Obsidian 18.0.52"-updating, database's "Export Dump"-function doesn't work. It seems there is a compatibility issue with MySQL 5.1 database...

According to the minimum system requirements of Plesk Obsidian, MySQL needs at least version 5.7.

The same for Windows, of course:

I inadvertently had automatic updates turned on, and our Plesk got updated. Now, I can't back up our databases and the scheduled backups also fail. Is there a way to back down to a version that supports MySQL 5.6? This is a production box, so I need to be careful.

You cannot downgrade. Instead, why not upgrade the ancient MySQL to a modern version?

This is a production server, running other software. We are in the process of standing up a new box, but at the moment, we are seemingly unable to backup our databases from Plesk. Which means, we will have to backup each schema manually from WorkBench. Ugh.
