Where are domain backups stored?

Where are domain backups stored on Plesk 8?

 

[Cranky]

/var/lib/psa/dumps

Not on my server the're not. Yes on 7.54 but I have made some backups on 8.0 are they are not in vat/lib/psa/dumps

 

[eilko]

check /etc/psa/psa.conf:

# Save dumps directory
DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps


I just made some backups at CentOS4/Plesk8 and they are stored there.

 

[Pagemakers]

It says:

# Save dumps directory
DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps

But I have a dump on a test domain and it is not in this dir.

 

[eilko]

on my test system a backup of the testclient is put into

/var/lib/psa/dumps/1/backupfile

when I make a seperate backup of the first domain of this client:

/var/lib/psa/dumps/1/1/backupfile

a second domain of the same client goes into:

/var/lib/psa/dumps/1/2/backupfile

Ah I see now.

So if one is in /14/18

That means it is domain 14 and it's the 18th backup?

What about all my old 7.54 backups that are just in /var/lib/psa/dumps/domainname

Do I just delete those?

 

[eilko]

no, I think it is client 14, domain 18. Would be easier if they had used more logical names

 

[k.satirli]

im unsure, but I also think its client_id/number_of_backup

so client 2, backup 3 would be 2/3/

which makes a hell of a lot more sense than

www.domainofclient2.com/backup_1/

the numeric form is just so much easier to work with programmatically

From plesk....

"Yes, Plesk 8 stores backups in <client id>/<domain id> folders now, it is needed for compatibility with Plesk management through HSPcomplete as I remember...

If you are not going to install 7.5.4 back you can remove old backups, they are not compatible with 8 version."

very unusable realisation, i suppose
