Plesk Backups

[omexlu12]

Hello,

I have read ofter that Plesk Backups don't work very well.

I have now a question is it possible to make backups from Plesk interface an download the backup to PC and extract there the data for a manuell edititing?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can download it to local PC. It will be .tar file with everything inside.
Not sure though why would you want to modify these data manually. When restoring backup, you can pick necessary files to restore right in Plesk (if you don't want to restore everything).

Hello,

i have not the same question, but the titel of this thread is perfect for me.
If i will create an complete backup off all the settings and files included in the hosting abo
my server disk space is going out off range.

I have set other path for the
# Backups directory
DUMP_D /data/psa/dumps
DUMP_TMP_D /data/psa/tmp
in /etc/psa/psa.conf.

But the backups where also created in the old path on /opt/psa/PMM/tmp.
I know in an older version of plesk (<MU 50) all works very well.
What can i do to solve the problem? If you need more info please let me know.

Thank you, i have a site about 30Gb is there better so split the backup in 2GB parts if i want to upload local to server again?

If you can upload the 30 GB backup directly back to the server, why split it into parts?

 

[omexlu12]

In Plesk is written that i can only upload 2 GB parts into the server reprosity?

 

[pleskpanel]

Can you link to that article? I could be wrong but it was my understanding that the 2 GB limit applied to third party FTP repositories.

Here a screenshot from that

While German isn't my language the limit there applies to uploading via a browser versus moving it directly to the server.

There are certainly limitations and inefficiencies when it comes to uploading those via a browser so uploading it through any other means will be faster (you can even move upload it via VTP to a Plesk website and then move it into the repository)

ok thank you where is the repository located on the server? (path)
