Question Plesk backups default settings?

[Dave W]

Greets!
Just spotted on some of our newer plesk servers (that were using alot of disk space) that plesk server-wide backups seems to be running by default. These are the backups configured from Toos&Settings >> Backup Manager. Is this normal behavior?

I think I remember that on my last new Obsidian installation the backup plan was not only configured and activate, but a backup was actually created right away, too. So probably, yes, that seems to be the default behavior.

Hey Peter,
Thanks for confirming. This caused an issue on one of our servers. Plesk could not update due to lack of disk space. I don't think having this enabled by default is a good idea. Backups should be config'd by the admin. No doubt we'll have to vote on it...........
