I hope you're all doing well. I'm currently diving into the world of website backups, and I could really use some advice and guidance from those of you who are experienced with Plesk.

Here's the deal: I want to set up automated backups for my website, and I want to do it right. Security is a top priority for me, but I also want to make sure that the process is efficient and doesn't put too much strain on my server.

So, my questions are: What's the best way to schedule automated website backups in Plesk? Are there any specific tools, add-ons, or settings that you've found to be reliable and user-friendly? And how do you strike that balance between keeping your website safe and not bogging down your server with backup tasks?

Your real-world experiences and insights would be incredibly helpful as I embark on this backup journey. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge!

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not a bot with an AI generated message. Just to be sure, what Plesk version are you running on which OS exactly?

I use the Scheduled Backup settings, automatically backing up to Dropbox daily up to 14 full backups stored. I like to check the option to receive an email if errors occur during the execution of the backup task.
