  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

How To: Backup to Google Cloud Storage

Jason_Hilton

New Pleskian
Hey Guys,
Hope this is helpful to someone. My Plesk server runs on Google Compute Engine, and backups to a Google Cloud Storage Bucket via this script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
export BOTO_CONFIG="/path/to/.boto"

# Create the backups appending YYMMDD to the end of the file name.
mysqldump databasename -u username -ppassword > database_$(date +%y%m%d).sql
tar -czf httpdocs_$(date +%y%m%d).tar.gz /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/

# Compress the database backup.
gzip database_$(date +%y%m%d).sql

# Upload the backups to your bucket, and pipe output to null to prevent cron from emailing you several pages of output.
gsutil cp -L databasereport.csv database_$(date +%y%m%d).sql.gz gs://bucketname 2>/dev/null
gsutil cp -L httpdocsreport.csv httpdocs_$(date +%y%m%d).tar.gz gs://bucketname 2>/dev/null

# Remove the backups from the server.
rm httpdocs_$(date +%y%m%d).tar.gz
rm database_$(date +%y%m%d).sql.gz

# Output the upload reports for Cron to email (if you want).
cut --delimiter=, -f1,9 databasereport.csv
cut --delimiter=, -f1,9 httpdocsreport.csv

# Remove the upload reports.
rm databasereport.csv
rm httpdocsreport.csv
