Plesk creates more backups than configured on FTP

TITLE:

Plesk creates more backups than configured on FTP​

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:

Plesk Onyx, 17.5.3 Update Nr. 7, Debian 8.8, x64​

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

The backup manager of Plesk creates more backups on my external backup FTP than I configured. My Plesk settings are backed up daily. I set the maximum value to 60 backups, but Plesk creates every day one more (at this moment there are 72).

I do not see any error messages and I don't know whether there is a log to see what's wrong.​

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

Configure Plesk (backup manager) to make a daily backup of Plesk settings and mails on a FTP, maximum files 60. Wait 61 days.​

ACTUAL RESULT:

61 files are on the FTP.​

EXPECTED RESULT:

Everytime only 60 backups on FTP. This worked fine in Plesk 12.5 and below.​

ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

​

YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM PLESK SERVICE TEAM:

Confirm bug​

Developers can't reproduce this issue on test servers and suggested you submit ticket to Plesk Support Team for investigation this issue directly on your server.

Thanks, I will do that.

After "only" half a year it's time to give feedback. The error solved itself. I guess the problem was my backup FTP space, not Plesk.
