Hello since 2 nights my backup log shows the following:
WARNING: (Extension object 'Plesk Email Security') Unable to back up extension. Error: String could not be parsed as XML
 
I'm experiencing the same issue. It initially started with OneDrive, where I used to store backups, but for some reason, it began to fail. I then switched to Google Drive, which is performing the backups, but the same error you reported still appears.
Warning: Extension 'Plesk Email Security' — Unable to back up extension. Error: String could not be parsed as XML.
