  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    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. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

folder /inetpub/vhosts/servers ecc ecc

hi to everybody
sure mine will be a fool question
because plesk creates in inetpub/vhosts/server/31499/localuser/mysite/ copy of everybody domain ? to thing it serves ?
it occupies as space
thanks for any answer and sorry for english
kindest regards
 
The /Servers folders in PLESK DO hold a copy of everything on every website as a way of properly creating the folder structures necessary for FTP. However these files are not stored as "copies" of the website content. Instead plesk uses a feature in the windows files system only available to through the WinAPI.

This feature is known as symbolic links. Unix and Linux people have used them for years. A symbolic link allows a folder on your file system to look like a folder and act like a folder but to actually point to the contents of another folder.

So the content is stored once but the file system has 2 folders that point to it. It's like an alias for a folder.

The only downfall here is that most backup programs for windows don't recognize symbolic links. They think they are just folders and thus back the data in them up twice. Then when the backup is restored you will either get a failure or you will get a folder structure that plesk can't use.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
