• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

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.
