By default, Plesk stores backups in the server storage. However, this presents a
risk. If the server’s hard disk fails, you can lose both your website
data and your backups. To avoid this, we recommend storing backups in
remote storage. This topic explains how to configure remote storage for
backups in Plesk.
You can configure the following types of remote storage:
- FTP storage
- Amazon S3 Backup storage
- S3-compatible storages:
- DigitalOcean Spaces
- Various S3-compatible storages (Minio, OpenStack, and others)
- Google Drive Backup storage
- Microsoft OneDrive Backup storage
Note: Storing scheduled subscriptions’, customers’, and resellers’ backups
in remote cloud storage is a premium feature. You can purchase it in the Plesk Online
Store.
The purchase unlocks the ability to use all supported cloud storage services.
You can configure more than one remote storage, but you can only have
one S3-compatible storage configured at a time. For example, you can
configure both Amazon S3 Backup and Google Drive Backup, but not Amazon
S3 Backup and DigitalOcean Spaces.
When creating backups, you can only use one remote storage at a time. If
you want to store backups in more than one remote storage, create a
backup once for every remote storage you want to use.
