Hello,

I am from TAIWAN and it is the first time I tried to use PLESK.

The "BACKUP" icon on PLESK is disabled for my VPS host. It says like this: the backup utility is ont installed.
Is there someone can tell me what I can do? Thank you.

Hi Jessamine,

You would navigate to Server -> Updater -> Your Plesk version, then select "Plesk Backup Manager" in the list of components, click the install link and proceed with install in order to get Backups functions available in Plesk.

I have installed backup uitility and done my domain-backyup file. I still have two questions.

1. How can I make sure my backup file is compelet and successful?
2. I will downgrade my VPS plan to windows VPS hosting plan recently. Sould I need to download my backup file to local for restoring it to new location?

Hi,

In reply to your questions:

1. How can I make sure my backup file is compelet and successful?

The only way to be sure backup is complete is to estimate how much data was backed up and compare it to the size of your account or download and review the archive made by Plesk. If Plesk didn't give any error about backup generation, usually this means that all is fine.

Possible, yes. However, we can try to import the backup made in Plesk on Windows. If this fails, you'll need to upload the site data yourself.

Anytime =)


Just in time, 48hrs after I set the backups to run I destroyed my database and needed to restore a backup. It was the first time in 4 years of the site running that I had to go to a backup and I only lost about 20 hours of data.

Thanks Again.

Thanks for the instructions. As a noob, I'm completely lost in Plesk and VPS land. Any help I can find and understand is most appreciated.  Hug

Maybe you are interested in any other topic that should also be present on these forums to help VPS administrators?
