New Pleskian
I am in the process of moving hosting of my websites and the new host uses Plesk which I am not familiar with (yet).
What I want to do is backup my SQL Server database on a schedule and be able to download the backups via FTP using a backup service that I use.
It seems in Plesk that I have the option to create scheduled backups, although they are of the website too, not just the backup. I can live with that if it is the only option.
However, I can only seem to backup to server storage (which i can't access via FTP) or to an external FTP source.
I tried creating a FTP location of the server itself so it would backup to itself and then I could FTP from there, but got an error message: "Using the local Plesk's FTP server as a remote storage is prohibited. Please specify a remote location."
Can you suggest any solution for me?
