  • 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.

Good morning,

I would like to have your opinion on making website backups,
I have been working mainly with Plesk for several years.

I tried backup via Plesk, I tried backups via Wordpress plugins, backup via Plesk to Google Drive, or FTP.

All this works but I'm looking for the best way to recover properly

- httpdocs
- the database link
- and also the domain emails

Note: I don't know if there is also anything else to recover yet?

(but for me, site content, database + email are the most essential.

can also be the dns, mx etc. parameters.)

then if I ever have a problem

I upload the httpdocs folder, I import the database
and for the email I don't know how to do the restoration properly because on qmail I have the maildir folder but it's not easy to read the emails without third-party software.

I'm really looking for a quick way to backup
and if in the hypothesis I have a problem I can restore in 2 or 3
click.

At the same time, recover the backup and install locally on my Mac easily but for emails I still haven't found an idea, except reading the maildir folder with a tool on PC

Do you have any suggestions or ideas to suggest?

reliable and fast method?

thanks
 
Well, plesk backup is a good option, and if you are looking for more options, then you can go with Maildir and Email backups. Mail recovery is also a best option for this.
Thanks
 
I didn't find anything new
I stay with Plesk backup, and on certain WordPress projects I also use plugins for additional backup
