I notice there is a new

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup

program.

I want to backup all of the server's configs and not the content by using the

-no-content

flag. Is this possible by doing an --all -no-content?


thanks

why not read the documentation?

http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/Plesk8.0/Doc/plesk-8-backup-restore-users-guide/


-no-content

Backs up only settings related to control panel, without the content of sites, mailboxes or databases.

i have read the documentation.

But can't seem to combine the -all and -no-content values.

Could you please give me an example command?

I think this works:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup --all backupfilename -no-content

it would appear that the process is doing somthing as PleskX.pl runs for a while and files get tarred up but they aren't getting addedd to the backup file. It is empty.

what happened to the --domains--names-skip option? I use it as there are domains that i dont backup, and my clients are aware of this, to shorten the size of the backup file.

Does anyone know of a solution to this. I can't backup my plesk install now.

I'm using

psa v8.0.0_build80060331.13 os_CentOS 3.6

Is it because I have noexec permissions on the tmp dirs? I'm not sure of a reason why the backup fiile isn't being created.

Is it possible to downgrade my plesk?

Thanks

Hi,

i'm still on 7.5.4 but i have problem to use command
--domains-names-skip

This is the command i use:

# Run Psadump Backup
/usr/local/psa/bin/psadump --domains-names-skip=/root/psadump_skip --nostop --nostop-domain --tar-ignore-failed-read --do-not-dump-logs -f /home/backup/psadump/psabackup-dnsyes-biz-$date.tar

The file "psadump_skip" is a simple file created by joe with the list of domains like this:

mydomain1.com
mysomain2.com

and the file has root/root and 700 permisssion

My problem is that psadump simply DO NOT skip any domain and backup entire server, plese HELP!

thanx

Guido
