To perform a backup of Panel hosting data, you need to execute the
pleskbackup utility command that does the following:
-
Defines the data that need to be backed up.
-
Defines the way the backup process will be performed.
-
Defines properties of the files that will be contained in the backup.
-
Defines options for exporting the backup as a single file.
Note: Only the first component is obligatory; the others are optional.
The following sections explain the meaning and implementation of each
component in detail.
The pleskbackup utility is located in
$PRODUCT_ROOT_D/bin/pleskbackup where the $PRODUCT_ROOT_D is
/usr/local/psa for RPM-based systems or /opt/psa on DEB-based
systems.
To see a complete list of the pleskbackup commands and options,
refer to the Reference for Command-Line Utilities, Plesk for
Linux guide.
If the command execution succeeds, a backup is created in the default
server backup location, or is exported to a file if exporting options
were specified. For details on exporting options, refer to the section
Exporting Backup Files. If the command execution fails,
a backup is not created.
You can perform advanced configuration of the backup operation through
the file $PRODUCT_ROOT_D/admin/share/pmmcli/pmmcli-rc. For more
details, refer to the section Defining How the Backup Process Is
Performed.
