Download Backup On Plesk
Donnie Ehlen
As per docs, I have to enter FTP details in **Tools & Settings > Backup Manager > FTP Storage Settings **. Even though settings are correct no backup is being made. I have also tried enabling ftps and passive mode. Still the folder to which backups have to be made is empty! It's been some time and normal weekly backups don't end up in FTP storage. Did anyone else experience this issue? Any fixes for this?
In Plesk, in order to transfer a backup to a remote storage by FTP, first a backup is provided on the server, then it is transferred to the remote server via the FTP. Even if you use the command line, there still needs to be enough free space to back up.
Although Plesk provides a server where to save your backups, the risk is that an external failure will cause your data loss. For this reason, it is also recommended to save your backups in a remote archive.
Contabo offers S3-compatible Object Storage which can be used for backups of your data. Your files are stored in our Data Center with three redundancy disks in Ceph. That means three drives can fail at the same time without affecting data.
When using the FTP(S) Remote-Storage for backups of a website, does the limit of saved backups (for example 3) apply to the remote-storage itself too or do i have to manually delete all backups on my Remote-Storage that are older than e.g. 3 days?
