• 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.

Settings that Plesk does NOT backup up & restore

JulianP

Basic Pleskian
After a server migration, some critical Plesk settings were not copied across, even though the option to backup/restore panel configuration was used. e.g.

skeleton (vhosts\.skel folder)
php.ini (\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5* folder)
Default site (vhosts\default folder)
health config (\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\admin\conf\custom-health-config.xml)
Additional Administrator accounts

Is there a way to get these things to backup and restore that I am doing wrong?

Are there other important settings/data that I have missed from that list? I am still paying to keep the old server in case I discover something else!

Anyone using Plesk Backup & Restore for disaster recovery will lose these settings unless they take extra steps. e.g. I now have a simple batch file that copies these files to a private folder on one of the domains before the daily backup kicks in.

Thanks,
Julian
 
Should be in server backup and with migration of server settings:

skeleton (vhosts\.skel folder)
health config (\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\admin\conf\custom-health-config.xml)

Shouldn't be:

php.ini (\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5* folder)
Default site (vhosts\default folder)
Additional Administrator accounts
