Question Server wide backup to FTP without huge free disk space

[Nicolas Karlen]

Hello,

I want to make scheduled full backup of my server to an external FTP. Just want to backup the system and plesk files / configs without the subscriptions folders. But my server have not enough free space.

I didn't found an answer to this question:

Is there a way to use the server-wide backup fonctionnality (Tools and parameters > Backup manager) to a ftp storage without storing backup temp files localy ? Maybe by deactivating files compression for server wide backups only ?

Or using rsync and curlftpfs ? Any advice on that ?

Cheers
