  • 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.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Hello, I got a new server because the old server is currently broken.
Now I wanted to restore an external backup.
First of all, I only wanted to restore the backup for one customer.
The server loads a lot of data onto the server. For example, from customers that I didn't want to restore yet.
The /var/lib/psa/dumps alone is currently 700 GB in size.
How can it be that the server does much more than I have configured? I can see all the customers in the /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients even though I haven't wanted to restore them yet.
I tried it last night. This morning a 3 TB disk was full of a backup which was about 1 TB in size.
 
All backup content is packed in a single .tar file. It needs to be downloaded and unpacked to have a separate directory for the one client you want to restore.
 
Okay, so that's normal. The nightly backup was aborted. Nevertheless, more than 1500 GB of storage space was occupied.
I wonder where so much data came from. The defective server only had a total of 1500 GB of disk space. That's strange.
Currently 900 GB have been moved and there is no end to it.
