What is normally contained in the /var/lib/psa/dumps/... directory? 

Every so often I have a backup fail and I can go in there to delete the failed backup but there are a bunch of other files (some pretty large) that I'm not sure if I actually need.  Some of them look like the 3 days worth of backups that I normally keep but there are others that I'm just not sure about like /var/lib/psa/dumps/1/mydomains_2009.02.02_21.33 which is using up almost a Gig of space.

Any ideas, I don't want to delete something I need.

Good question.  I went and checked my folder.  I have my server wide set to backup daily and keep 3 back-ups, and this appears to be where they are stored.

I browsed around a bit and I didn't see any really large files that seem leftover from Feb 2009 like you have...

I remember talking with a LP tech who wasn't all that impressed with the Plesk backup manager at the time.  I remember I had some sort of issue with the Plesk backup manager failing and breaking my Plesk console, and he had to go in a manually remove some backup files that was confusing it.

That was awhile ago...and an older version of Plesk..  but I wouldn't be surprised if it was about Feb 2009  Very Happy
