Hey

I trie to backup the hole Plesk and I want to exlclude domains!

Is this right command right? because it is not working!

/opt/psa/bin/pleskbackup -v all exclude=*******.de /home/pleskbackup_test

Thanks for help!
 
Hello ,

This is a forum here people voluntarly help others .So it would be inappropriate to say others ddin know the answers.

Any way try with

--exclude Specifies the items (domain names or clients' login names separated with white spaces) that should not be backed up.
 
I did it now like this:

/opt/psa/bin/pleskbackup -v all --exclude=test.de /home/pleskbackup_test

Than he says: unknown option: exclude
 
it should work .I have did this 1001 times .
1)check the backup module rpm is installed
2)or check the pleskbackup binary is there in the bin directory
 
Thanks for you help so far!

I checked the 2 Points and there are fine!

I am doing Backups with pleskbackup now for a while!
normaliy I do it this way:
/opt/psa/bin/pleskbackup all ftp://???????:??????????@??????????.de/pleskbackup_test
And its working just fine!! Is backups the hole plesk und I restored once with pleskrestore and it worked!

But now I have one Domain I dont wont to backup up! Just one! And this time I used this line:
/opt/psa/bin/pleskbackup -v all --exclude=???????.de /home/pleskbackup_test

The error is: "Unknown option: exclude"
Why is the command "exclude" for him a error?
in "/opt/psa/bin/pleskbackup --help" he is saying me I can do this!
Is my commandline wrong?
/opt/psa/bin/pleskbackup -v all --exclude=???????.de /home/pleskbackup_test
 
Is still not working?

/opt/psa/bin/pleskbackup -v all --exclude=???????.de /home/pleskbackup_test

Whats wrong?

based on that, you should check the online documentation to see if there is something that you are missing.
 
I just tried myself to see

[root@heracles server]# /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup -v all exclude=domaintoexclude.com backup_aug_23_2008
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Backup started (X client(s), YYY domain(s))
Start date: Sat Aug 23 23:06:23 2008
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phase 1/2: collecting information

Phase 2/2: packing data

I'll update when finished, will take some time to finish.
 
so check your command, i just went again through the whole post, and i noticed you use "--exclude" when should be "exclude" without the "--"

Give a try without the -- and should work.

my backup is still running tho, so I cant post my backup output just yet.
 
ok for me worked ;)

try it without the --
[root@heracles server]# /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup -v all exclude=domaintoexclude.com backup_aug_23_2008

Hello!
This problem (with --exclude option) will be fixed soon. The hotfix is being prepared.
Tnanks.
 
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup -v all exclude=domaintoexclude.com backup_aug_23_2008
Click to expand...

I did it now exactly this way!

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup -v all exclude=mydomain.de backup_aug_23_2008

But he still includes the domain "mydomain.de" in the backup!!

And I did

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup -v all backup_aug_23_2008_2

And it is the same size like the backup before.....
 
Please read this!!!

ok! I will wait!

Just wondered that it worked with JLChafardet

 Hoppe the hotfix is coming sooooooon
 
Hey all its me again! Greetings from Germany :)

I installed the hotfix and the command --exclude is working now, but I have still the same problem!

If I make a normal backup with this commandline:

/opt/psa/bin/pleskbackup -v all /home/pleskbackup_test

the backup is ~4.3GB large! So far so good

Than I use this commandline to exlude one Domain with the size of ~1.4GB

/opt/psa/bin/pleskbackup -v all --exclude=mydomain.com /home/pleskbackup_test

And the result is, that this backup file is the size of ~4.3GB!
Its the same size like the bakcup without the exclude command!

Pleskbackup is not showing any error or so he is just not excluding anything....

Is anybody seeing a error in my tought? Can it be that by pleskbackup file on the root is coruppted?
 
But is not working for me! Perhaps someone can send me the pleskbackup file via email than I can replace my file on the root! I dont know why this is not working!

Thanks
