Hi Boris Uhlig,

the standart location for Plesk - backup - files is => "/var/lib/psa/dumps"

You might as well consider to have a look into your "temp"/"tmp" - folders on your server, to free some disk - space.

On centos /var/cache is also a good place to check and ofcourse /var/log

Also is log rotation activated and properly configured on your websites. The plesk default if not that great. You can set them all at once with this script.
Change days as needed. All parameters here

site: Sites

<?php
$pwfile = "/etc/psa/.psa.shadow";
$pw = trim(file_get_contents($pwfile));

mysql_connect("localhost","admin", $pw);
mysql_select_db("psa");
if (!($result=mysql_query("select htype, name from domains where htype = 'vrt_hst' ORDER by name;"))) {
        print("MySQL error: " . mysql_error());
}
$aantal = mysql_num_rows($result);
    for ($r = 0; $r < mysql_num_rows( $result); $r++) {
        $row = mysql_fetch_array ($result);
        echo "$row[name]\n";
    exec ("/usr/local/psa/bin/site -u $row[name] -log-rotate true -log-bytime daily -log-max-num-files 7 -log-compress false");
    }

?>

we don't compress log files by design in order to be able to find stuff in logs very fast, an example

#!/bin/sh
cd /var/www/vhosts/system/
more *?*/statistics/logs/access_log | grep -i "mod.php" | mail [email protected] -s "acces `hostname`"
more *?*/statistics/logs/access_log.processed.? | grep -i "mod.php" | mail [email protected] -s "access processed `hostname`"
more *?*/statistics/logs/error_log | grep -i "mod.php" | mail [email protected] -s "error `hostname`"
more *?*/statistics/logs/error_log.? | grep -i "mod.php" | mail [email protected] -s "error processed `hostname`"

easy to run on a dozen servers at once.
