Question
How to prevent Plesk backups to consume all free disk space or prevent backup start if there is not enough free space on the server?
Answer
-
Open Tools & Settings > Backup Manager > Settings.
-
Enable option Start the backup only if your server has the sufficient amount of free disk space.
OR
If it is required to set a specific amount of free space on the server for backup to start, type the necessary amount in megabytes in option Start the backup only if your server has the specified amount of free disk space.

Hello @Alex,
Could you, please, describe your environment and give more details of the issue you have?
Thanks in advance.
I want to make a backup in dropbox of a subscription with a samba volume with 50tb. But, Plesk use local space for this. I try without compress but it's the same. There is any way to perform this??
Hi @Gaston Gelhorn,
Let me clarify that Plesk creates archives locally by parts before uploading them to remote storage.
Parts of backup files are created and uploaded simultaneously, thus, it is recommended to have free space equal at least to half of the full backup size.
