Scheduling backups in Plesk

Here is how you can schedule the backup process in Plesk:

1. Go to Tools & Settings > Backup Manager.
2. Click Scheduled Backup Settings.
3. Select the Activate this backup task checkbox and specify the following:
  • When and how often to run the backup.
  • Backup file name.
  • Splitting of the backup file. To create a multivolume backup, select the respective checkbox and specify volume size in megabytes. Note that volume size cannot exceed 4095 megabytes.
  • Location where to store the backup file. Select the repository where you would like to store the backup file.
  • Maximum number of backup files stored in the repository. Type a number if you want to recycle backup files: When this limit is reached, the oldest backup files are removed.
  • E-mail notification on backing up errors. If you want to send an e-mail notice when something goes wrong during backing up, type the e-mail address you need.
  • What data to back up. You can back up only settings, or settings and user data.

4. Click OK.

Once this is done, the auto backup generation should work without any issues. In case there is any problem, please refer to Parallels Plesk documentation for assistance.
