• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Question Scheduled backup retry

matbcvo

Basic Pleskian
Is it possible to configure backup system to retry after X minutes/hours when it fails to do so? I can't seem to find that option in Plesk.
Scheduled full backup sometimes fails because of temporary error (FTP server error or database is locked etc). I always have to do backup manually after I receive notification from Plesk about scheduled backup error.

There is no built-in function for that, but I think that the command line has a return code that you can use in a shell script to automatically start a new backup if it returns an error instead of 0. But you'll need to develop this script by yourself.
