How to change default location of Plesk backup repository?

[kiav]

It's location by default is /var/lib/psa/dump.

I want to download backups from this repository by ftp or sftp. As for sftp I created user backups outside of the Plesk (to support ssh certificate authorization). How to make plesk to store archives e.g. to /opt/backups/plesk ?

Hi kiav,

please have a look at the file "/etc/psa/psa.conf.default". This is the default Plesk configuration file, which you can modify to your needs and desires. Just copy this file to "/etc/psa/psa.conf", make your changes and restart your psa service and from now on, Plesk will use your modifications.

Example:

# Backups directory
DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps
DUMP_TMP_D /tmp

Please have as well a look and bookmark:

Odin / Parallels Plesk Panel for Linux services logs and configuration files ( KB - article: 111 283 )​

... the KB - article shows all possible logs - and configuration - file - paths and as well the commands how to start/restart/stop the Plesk - related services.
