Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.21 caused scheduled backups not to run

Will-NYESDigital

Regular Pleskian
Hi there

I am using: OS ‪CentOS Linux 7.7.1908 (Core)‬ Product Plesk Obsidian - Version 18.0.21 Update #1

The problem I have encountered is that scheduled backups have not automatically run over the past 2 days since we upgraded to version 18.0.21

I have two other servers which are running on Version 18.0.20 Update #2 which automatic scheduled backups work fine so this directs me to the fact the new update has caused the problem.

Please advise me in what I can be doing to fix this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys

After reading the changelog for Update #2 this problem may have fixed our issue, please see the full statement from Plesk below:

  • Scheduled backups can now be created if the backups owner locale was not defined (set to null). (PPP-46219)

I have checked the availability of the FTP Server with two additional tools Filezilla and ncftp, and both are able to list the content. I also checked with

curl -v --ftp-pasv -u <backupuser> 'ftp://backup.1blu.de//backup/jarf.de/'

This works fine. So I currently fall back to store the backups locally, but the space will exceed fast!!!

A second server (different credentials) has the same problem
 
Hi all

After the update this problem has been fixed on my servers - over the weekend my backups have been done automatically :)

Thanks for your help to those in this thread it is greatly appreciated

It was overwritten by the update as follows, and the error came out again. Therefore, cuBackupAgent.php was replaced again.

[centos@ api-common]$ cd /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/api-common/

[centos@ api-common]$ ls -la cuBa*
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 19538 Nov 29 07:34 cuBackupAgent.php
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 19538 Nov 23 03:41 cuBackupAgent.php.backup
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 8506 Nov 29 07:34 cuBackupEncrypt.php
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 70810 Nov 29 07:34 cuBackupRestoreHelper.php

[centos@ api-common]$ cmp cuBackupAgent.php cuBackupAgent.php.backup

(Nothing is output. Same at binary.)

[centos@ api-common]$
 
Hello,

The same problem on last night's backup and I applied the temporary fix again. I hope that Plesk will find a final and stable solution quickly, it is annoying to have to monitor the backups of our subscriptions every day.

Well, I still have "Unable to back up protected dir passwords Error: Failed to create archive: Transport error: File or dir pd not exists" on some subscriptions but it's not too serious
Backup in Plesk finishes with warning: Unable to back up protected dir passwords Error: Failed to create archive: Transport error: File or dir pd not exists
