[solved] How do I change / set up the backup directory

Hi.

I only have a very small /var-partition, so I have to move the backups on another.
But the filmng (maybe part of automatic backups) failed, because it cant create a directory where a symlink already exists.

Situation: /var/lib/psa is a symlink to /srv/backup/psa
Error Message while creating a backup:

Unable to create backup session: filemng failed: mkdir: cannot create directory `//var/lib/psa/dumps': File exists
filemng: Error occured during /bin/mkdir command.

I also cant run the mkdir command as root.
How can I change the plesk backup directory main path?

Thanks,
Mike
