Question Using an NFS Share for Local Plesk Backups

Plesk version and microupdate number

Hello,

I have an NFS share backup storage at OVH, and I’d like to use it for Plesk local backups. Specifically, I want user-created backups to be stored at the NFS mount location instead of the default /var/lib/psa/dumps/.

I plan to follow this tutorial: Plesk KB - Changing Backup Location. However, since I can't change the user permissions on the NFS share folders, would this still work? Or could it cause issues?

Thanks!

Plesk supports NFS, but you have to change the permissions as instructed in the guide so that Plesk can write to the partition. It should also be mounted to allow file locking. Otherwise, it will fail.
