TwitterHi,
CentOS 7.2.1511, Plesk 12.5#48
A client used way more drive space than what would make sense.
Checked his subscription statistics: big local backup from 01-March-2016.
Removed the backup using the backup manager. So far so good.
As I like to double-check changes I do, go to /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients/clientx/domains/clientdomain.com
and find all the files still exist.
-----
run a test: I create a new local backup of the domain > the files are created in /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients/clientx/domains/clientdomain.com
delete the local backup that was just created, and the files in /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients/clientx/domains/clientdomain.com disappear.
-----
Recall another client who had a made a local backup with my help a while back. Check in backup manager, yes, one backup is listed. With his permission, remove the backup. All good.
Go to /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients/otherclient/domains/otherclientdomain.com and the files for the backup I just deleted via the Plesk UI are still there. Intererstingly backup files of an additional 3 (!) local backups also still exist - amounting to close to 5GB.
Has anyone else come across this scenario?
Could this be remnants of failed backups?
Checked https://kb.plesk.com/en/6082 to try and figure it out.https://kb.plesk.com/en/6082
Plesk Backup Manager for the domain shows no backups.
under /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients/otherclient/.discovered
it shows one backup_certain_date.
under /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients/otherclient/domains/otherclientdomain.com/.discovered
it shows four backups_all_different_dates
Anyone any ideas ?
