Plesk full server backup in tar.gz format

[arunbabu]

When I am creating backups for plesk (plesk 11.x) in plesk back up manager it is created in xml format. Is their anyway that the plesk backups can be created in tar.gz format? Please advice a resolution for this issue.


Thanks in advance

In short, NO. At least not for now.

You can use my script to create tar.gz fullbackup from Plesk xml file:

Please note: if you don't need need to put this archive somewhere, e.g. on personal repo like i wrote there, you can just delete this part:

# This is the FTP servers host or IP address.
HOST=<ftp_server_hostname>
.
.
.
.
send fullbackup-$dateBackup.tar.gz fullbackup-$dateBackup.tar.gz

Note: don't touch last two lines
