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.

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:

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.
