  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Issue Problem with obsidian server backup

maurosan

New Pleskian
Hello,

I migrated from a Plesk Onyx server on Centos 6 to a Plesk Obsidian on Ubuntu 18 using better hardware than before. If on Onyx I performed a daily incremental backup with a full backup every 7 days, with the same domains and contents on the new server, the backup process slows down the server so much that I get the time out error on all ports (web and mail). Furthermore, the process seems to stop when it encounters important data files, i.e. on domains that have perhaps 50/100 GB of email data space. I tried various combinations starting from the same settings as the previous plesk server (onyx), trying with and without compression and with different CPU priority levels, but without success.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Here my spec:
Ram = 32 GB
CPUIntel(R) Xeon(R) E-2134 CPU @ 3.50GHz (8 core(s))
VersionPlesk Obsidian v18.0.33_build1800210123.00 os_Ubuntu 18.04
OSUbuntu 18.04.5 LTS
 
If there is a huge number of separate files, a backup can take a very long time. Have you checked the cpu load during the backup? What does it say? Have you checked the backup log in /var/log/plesk/PMM/backup-..., too? Where does the process need a lot of time?
