• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

huge backup file

In Plesk Linux 8.1.1 is there a limit to backup/restore a big file?

My /var/qmail/mailnames is 50GB in size, so the backup file will be similar, I guess. Does anyone has backed/restored files this big?
Should it work without problems?

(i've been making the backup for 5 hours and it hasnt finished yet, the backup file is 9GB and growing)

The limit is your file system limit (which is 2 TB for ext3 I believe). You might run out of disk space before hitting that though. The backup uses compression so it should take less space than the original files combined.
