How to check if a Plesk backup/restoration task is still running

Question

How to check if a Plesk backup/restoration task is still running and is not stuck?

Answer

1. Connect to your Plesk server via SSH.

2. Check if the backup/restoration process is running:

   # ps auxww | grep PMM
   root 6066 0.2 0.4 153104 9528 ? S 22:18 0:00 /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/deployer --deploy-dump --session-path /usr/local/psa/PMM/rsessions/20170731221845483 --dump-index-file /usr/local/psa/PMM/rsessions/20170731221845483/dump/dump_index.xml

3. Check if new records are being written to the file /var/log/plesk/PMM/pmmcli.log:

   # tail -fn0 /var/log/plesk/PMM/pmmcli.log

   Note: In case nothing is written to the log above, use the strace command line utility to determine whether or not the process (PID) is generating output. Its usage is strace -p <PID> taken from step 1. For example: strace -p 6066

   If a backup is restored from a remote storage, it will be downloaded locally to the server first. Check the size of an already downloaded backup with the command:

   # du -sh /tmp/pmm-repo*
   57G /tmp/pmm-repo-icon-content-kRJTC3
