  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    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. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Issue How to create a backup using the Plesk REST API?

Richard Mauritz

New Pleskian
Sorry for the many question, but the problem is that alot of info regarding Plesk's API's are missing.

I was wondering if I can make a backup using Plesk's REST API. According to the documentation I can use the command line using the following:

Code:
/cli/{id}/call

The backup command will then look as following:

Code:
/cli/pleskbackup/call

But it needs parameters, how can I pass parameters to it? Ive tried the following, but that doens't work. `{ "params": ["--server"] }`

Code:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://<hostname>:<port>/api/v2/cli/pleskbackup/call');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '{ "params": ["--server"] }');

It returns:

Code:
{
    "code": 1,
    "stdout": "",
    "stderr": ""
}

But it doens't start a backup.

Can someone help me out here?
