good day
I make backup weekly for my plesk server but i found a big size in /usr/local/psa/var/psa/dumps/34 just i wonder what is this file and can i remove it
 
Well its a cron which you can edit from the system level control panel under the Crontab button, or you can edit roots crontab file via the CLI.

Either way, here is what is running and making the dumps:
/usr/local/psa/bin/mysqldump.sh

Its dumping the local mysql server databases for backup, so if you're using the local mysql server heavily, its going to create large dumps and eat up disk space. Disabling I guess would be ok if you've got some sort of other backup scheme.

Thanks,
James
