  • 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.

Plesk 12.xx schedulled backup hangs at 100%

Baris,

As to be expected and/or as I expected, something is not "proper" in your back infrastructure: the external backup server is too slow (and/or disconnects every now and then).

There are two ways to overcome the infrastructure issue:

a) go to a new provider, but note that this solution does not make sense or has any impact if your (local) server has a small backbone (for instance 100Mbit),

b) script the backup tasks for the various separate domains.

A script can be very useful, since it can allow for

- checking for changes in each domain (only if changed, make a backup)
- backup only domains with changes
- transport backups to backup server, by means of FTP or any other protocol

and the before mentioned functionalities are very similar to incremental backup, allowing a significant reduction in workload and traffic (hence speeding up the backup process).

Just a small tip...

Kind regards...
 
I too had the exact same issue as the poster. I have conducted the same steps and it seems to be solved.
