Issue during Scheduled Server backup

[Rahul Khanna]

Hello Everyone,

We are facing the issue with all of our windows server running Plesk 9.5 on it.The daily scheduled server backups via Plesk interface also creates reseller and clients backup automatically and show up in there backup manager resulting in the disk usage.

Any help regarding the same shall be highly appreciated.

We have the very same issue on all of our Plesk Windows 9.5 servers.

We have disabled backups in web-interface, but it does not make a difference. I saw many Scheduled Tasks regarding backups for domain #1, domain #2 etc., but we have not specifically configured this.

This is a problem as it causes customers to go over-quota overnight, as the backups are created automatically and not on an external storage.

Please advise

Scheduled Server Backup...

Guys,

This is a very simple stuff to do. We had faced this issue at once after migrating from Plesk 8.x to 9.x

You can disallow scheduled daily server backups disk space calculation server-wide.
1. Login into Plesk, and navigate into 'Settings' on the left menu
2. Under 'General Settings', click on 'Server Settings'
3. Under 'Include in the disk space usage calculation', uncheck 'domain backup files'

This will allow Plesk to exclude the disk space utilized by every reseller/client/domain during statistics calculation.

Cheers,
Balaji
