  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

Question Plesk backup compatibility across hosting providers

Mark McGinty

New Pleskian
What are the chances a Plesk backup (of multiple sites and databases) created on one hosting provider (A2 for example) could be restored on a different hosting provider (like GoDaddy?)

(You may have heard about the unfortunate catastrophe at A2? This would be fallout from that.)

My educated guess would be no... I have separate backups of my WordPress sites, created by a plugin, that I know will work, and I can easily republish the code for my .Net sites... my only remaining classic ASP site might take a bit of fiddling... or maybe I will retire it. Then I'll have to restore the SQL backups and dump them to script or something...

So not a catastrophe if it won't, just another very long night. :)

TIA
