  • 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.

Question Is it possible to restore the server from 1 full and 26 incremental backups?

Hello together,

I've been having massive problems with full backups on my Plesk instance running on Ubuntu 18.04 (which is not supported by Plesk anymore). I wonder if it wouldn't make more sense to upgrade the server to a newer Ubuntu version and reinstall Plesk again, but I'm not sure, if my existing backups allow me to recover the most recent version of my data then.

There is a full backup from June 19th - the last day full backups worked. From that day onwards only incremental backups were created:

Unfortunately I don't have a direct answer to your question. However I can offer some pointers that might help you.
  • To see if it's possible to restore from 1 full and 26 incremental backups you could spin-up a cheap VPS/cloud server (and install Plesk). That way you can test if it's possible.
  • You could also consider to perform a dist-upgrade from Ubuntu Ubuntu 18 > Ubuntu 20. That way you don't have to setup a new server.
  • Lastly I want to mention that Plesk offers "Professional Services" to assist users with upgrading their servers (among other things). It's not free and I am not sure what the costs are. But it might be of interest to you.
