• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Resolved MySQL Backup Cron Job - Empty DB File

JohnnyU

Basic Pleskian
I run a backup of my website db every day and it worked fine in Plesk 12
Now i upgraded from Plesk 12 to Onyx and the job still works but the file created is empty

When i run this from the console it works and the db is created with normal sql file size but it doesn't work from Plesk cron - empty file!

Plesk reports that the command ran succesfully, there is no error. For user & pass i use the db connection, different from Plesk user & pass


This is my cron job: mysqldump -u MYUSER -pMYPASS DBNAME > /var/www/vhosts/MYDOMAIN.com/backup/backup_`date +\%d.\%m.\%Y`.sql

Also i tried this: mysqldump -u admin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` DBNAME > /var/www/vhosts/MYDOMAIN.com/backup/db_backup_`date +\%d\%m\%Y`.sql
