• 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.

Question Plesk Backup Manager auto-creates SSH keys

Hangover2

Regular Pleskian
Server operating system version
Debian 10.13
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.49 Update 2
Hello,

on some of our Plesk servers we have a strange behavior of the Plesk Backup Manager.
If a subscription is bound to a chrooted shell or SSH access is even forbidden, a backup (e.g. only configuration) will create the .ssh directory in the subscription including SSH keys (id_rsa + id_rsa.pub).

Is there a reason why the SSH keys are auto-generated?

At the moment we still investigating which plugin or configuration does trigger this behavior as we do not see it on all of our Plesk servers.
