  • 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 Using Scaleway S3 for Plesk backups

carini

Basic Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
Plesk version and microupdate number
Plesk Obsidian v18.0.63_build1800240902.09
Anyone is using Scaleway S3 (Europe's empowering cloud provider | Scaleway) as a backup storage.

In the last two weeks we are experiencing a LOT of aborted backup. The worst part is that the backup process even fail to terminate in error and we need to kill the process manually.

Note:

In panel.ini a maximum timeout and maximum number of tries has already been set:

INI:
[ext-s3-backup]


; https://talk.plesk.com/threads/amazon-s3-backup-connecting-to-scaleway-object-storage.357132/
RegionForCustomEndpoint = fr-par


ConnectionTimeout = 120
MaxResumeAttempts = 20
MaxResumeFailures = 60

But if I look at backup process i find the backup process stuck

The connection with Scaleway is in ESTAB state, but apparently there is no traffic

Code:
Netid   State        Recv-Q   Send-Q                       Local Address:Port                                     Peer Address:Port                             Process

Anyone with the same problem?

Scaleway worked almost fine since now and we are struggling to find a good alternative solution at a cheap price
 
Backblaze Cloud Storage B2 is a solid alternative. It offers affordable pricing and has data centers in the EU as well. You can find more information on connecting Plesk to Backblaze here:
