The pleskbackup utility is used for backing up configuration and
data.
Usage
pleskbackup <command> [<arguments>] [<options>]
Example
The following command backs up the Plesk server excluding the customers
listed in the customers.txt file and displays information about the
backup process:
plesk bin pleskbackup --server -exclude-client-file customers.txt -v
Note: To improve backup security, we recommend that you protect backups
with a password. Thus, if the security of your backup storage is
compromised, an attacker will not get sensitive data. To provide
passwords for backups and the FTP server where you will upload
backups, use the PLESK_BACKUP_PASSWORD and FTP_PASSWORD
environment variables respectively.
Note: Plesk does not protect all sensitive data in a backup.
We recommend that you store backups in remote cloud storage
and enable backup encryption on the cloud storage side.
