You can specify the following options for the backup operation:
- Do not perform the backup if your server does not have specified free
disk space. - Do not perform the backup if your server does not have enough free
disk space to store the backup content. - Temporarily suspend websites during backup.
- Configure the backup utility to include more details in backup
reports.
Specifying disk space requirements for the backup
You can prevent the start of the backup operation if your server has not
enough disk space to complete it. To set the free disk space
requirements, change the parameters in the file
$PRODUCT_ROOT_D/admin/share/pmmcli/pmmcli-rc.
There are two ways to prevent the start of the backup operation:
- Specify minimal free disk space on your server.
If the server does not have the specified disk space, Plesk will not
start the backup operation. Set the minimal free disk space in MB by
changing the value of theFREE_DISK_SPACEparameter. For example,
to prevent the backup if free disk space on the server is less than
100 MB, edit the line in the following way:
FREE_DISK_SPACE 100
- Restrict the backup if your server does not have enough free disk
space to store the backup content. If this option is turned on, Plesk
calculates the future backup size and compares it with the free disk
space on the server. If there is not enough disk space, Plesk will
not start the backup operation. Note that this option can
significantly increase the backup time.
To turn this option on, set theCHECK_BACKUP_DISK_SPACEto1.
To turn this option off, set the parameter to0:
CHECK_BACKUP_DISK_SPACE 0
Suspending websites
If your backup will include websites, we recommend that you suspend them
during the backup process by using the --suspend option of the
backup utility. This will help you avoid possible errors that may be
caused by changes made to the site configuration or content during the
backup.
The suspension is made as short as possible: each site is suspended…
