Issue Google Drive Backup Space Error

bmalkoc

Basic Pleskian
I have space on Drive but Backup plugin says this error:
Code:
There is not enough disk space at /var/lib/psa/dumps to backup creation. At least 35.63 GB free space is required (14.18 GB is available)

Here is total disk space usage:

This is a message about the lack of disk space not on google drive, but on your Plesk server.
 
The backup manager must first create a local backup of 35.63 GB in the directory /var/lib/psa/dumps on your Plesk server, and then upload it to your google drive. But it cannot create a local backup of this size, because your server has only 14.18 GB of free space.
 
If you still having issue with your limited storage space:
Simple:
1. Download your old backup/s equivalent of 35.63 GB as tar format to your own PC.
2. Delete them from Plesk after download to free the required space.
3. Start backing up again.
4. Delete the Plesk local copy after completion.

As Igore mentioned, Plesk Backup Manager cannot backup your files directly to Google Drive, it must create a local copy first.
