  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Issue Subscription backup, cannot stat, permission denied

Hello,

This is an error I noticed recently, but I don't know when it started.

Backup packaging stops due to permission:
Code:
Warning: Subscription "###.ch"

Approx. 2-3 years ago I had created a chroot ssh environment for the main user of this subscription.
So I have folders with different permissions and symlinks that I had created following a tutorial.

So I did:
- plesk repair fs <domain>
- and I put these special folders in the folders to be ignored in the backup.
But the problem persists and on the other hand I don't understand the error message. I have a feeling that it's not under the www files that the problem is but not sure. Could the permission problem come from the backuptemp folders (I moved it in an external drive)?

He indicates:
/mnt/data1/backups/backuptemp/pmm-ru-ca-includes-yT0NdA: Cannot stat: Permission denied

Can anyone help me on this error?
 
Perhaps the problem is in the options for mounting an external drive. I would check how the drive is mounted.
