Fixed in:- Plesk Obsidian 28 February 2022
Resolution
Workaround
If update is not possible for some reason you may try the following
-
Connect to the Plesk server via SSH.
-
Stop cron service
On Debian/Ubuntu:
# systemctl stop cron
On CentOS/RHEL/CloudLinux:
# systemctl stop crond
-
Kill these processes using their PID:
# kill -9 `ps auxfw | grep -i pmm | grep -v grep | awk {'print $2'}`
# kill -9 `ps auxfw | grep -i backup | grep -v grep | awk {'print $2'}`
-
Start cron service
On Debian/Ubuntu:
# systemctl stop cron
On CentOS/RHEL/CloudLinux:
# systemctl stop crond
-
Either wait until the next scheduled backup is launched or launch the process manually through the following command:
# /opt/psa/admin/sbin/backupmng
Warning: If the tasks are launched manually through the command above, all the pending scheduled backups will be launched at the same time. Consider this for resource usage.
