Plesk 11 Upgrade Scheduled Backup not working

[igraf]

I have the same problem again with plesk 11
http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=209059

workaround
1) rpm -q --scripts psa-backup-manager | sed 1d | sh
2) /etc/init.d/crond restart

my error message with CentOS 5.8, Plesk 11.0.9 MU#4
sh: line 2315: syntax error near unexpected token `('
sh: line 2315: `preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):'

/etc/cron.d/plesk-backup-manager is created

why do not work after you upgrade the backup cronjobs?

Hi IgorG

IgorG,

Thanks

IgorG,

The Scheduled backup working fine after your script attachment

Thanks

I'm glad to hear it. Thank you for information.

Yes, I found the script helped as well, thank you.

One note: when the script is run it activates the cron task that starts the backups which will run the missed backups from the previous night right away.

If you don't want the backups running in the day and slowing your server down (or even worse, taking sites offline due to backup settings), then I suggest you wait until a time suitable for running backups before you use this script.

 

[rosskendall]

There still seems to be a problem. Scheduled backup for the admin is working but not individual backups for subscriptions. Does anyone else have scheduled backups for individual subscriptions working with Plesk 11.0.9?

[edit] it's working now (a day later), go figure. not sure what that was about.

 

[JauntMedia]

Thanks for the fix. I could use some help installing it, could you point me to a set of instructions or post a step by step?

Thank you.

 

[247amdan]

how should I use this script? and how can I check if the backups are OK again?
do I have to wait until tomorrow?

Just upload it on your server, unpack and run. That's all.

 

[JauntMedia]

Upload to which directory?

 

[FabianR]

worked for me!
Just upload anywhere for example in centOS /opt

cd /opt
sh install_cron_backup.sh (or ./install_cron_backup.sh)

The script start the backup immediatelly.
You can see it in your Admin-Panel -> Backup Manager ...

Cheers and thx !

Alternatively (in summary) create a cronjob as below

vim /etc/cron.d/plesk-backup-manager

And in it add:

8,23,38,53 * * * * root [ -x /opt/psa/admin/sbin/backupmng ] && /opt/psa/admin/sbin/backupmng >/dev/null 2>&1

That runs every Saturday 23hrs. You can edit the days accordingly ...

 

[aFrIaN]

Thanks for the fix

 

[abdi]

Any time

 

[vchris]

Script is working for me too.
thx IgorG

Hi

We've scheduled a daily backup. So, do we need to run this script daily?

Thanks
