Disk space full because of lack of scheduled backup rotation

Symptoms

• Disk space is almost full.
• Most of the disk space is occupied by /var/lib/psa/dumps/
• There is no backup rotation configured in Tools & Settings > Backup Manager > Settings or the value is too big.

Cause

Scheduled backups consume all the disk space.

Resolution

1. Log into Plesk.
2. Navigate to Tools & Settings > Backup Manager > Settings.
3. Adjust the Maximum number of full backup files to store to an appropriate value.
4. Remove the oldest backups from Tools & Settings > Backup Manager (those that are beyond the maximum number adjusted above).
