/usr/local/psa/tmp growing

[WernerKuhn]

I am using Plesk Panel 10.4.4 on a centOS virtual server.

I just discovered that the folder /usr/local/psa/tmp is using 15 GB space (that is about 50 % of my "hard drive").
Does Plesk clean up this folder by itself? And when? I can see files in there, that are quite a few weeks old.

Any hint would be nice.

Delete anything that has the name dumpXXXX that is older than a day... they're temporary backup files (I think).

For reasons unknown between Plesk 8.6 and Plesk 9.5 Plesk decided to ignore /etc/psa/psa.conf and put temporary backup files in and around /usr/local/psa/tmp and /usr/local/psa/var .

This is not useful when we've got a small root partition and a huge /var partition!

Anyway, I regularly delete the massive files that end up in /usr/local/psa/tmp but I leave all the smaller files well alone.

Thank you for your answer.

So I can delete dump*.tar files in there, that are older than a day, that sounds good.
Maybe I can set up a cron job for that. Er, cancel the "maybe".

But why are they there? I let my psa do a backup every day (keep = 2), and some of the files are from april, some are a few days old... Doesn't Plesk tidy up correctly? I've never had any version < 10 on this machine...

I am just cleaning up my CentOS server using Plesk 9.5.4. and I notice huge 2.5 GB file: /usr/local/psa/tmp/dumpFIPuwH.tgz.

Will delete it.

Dani, those are just temporary backup files, it does no harm to delete them!
