Where are Plesk Backup Manager temporary files located?

The actual paths can be found in the /etc/psa/psa.conf file:

# cat /etc/psa/psa.conf | grep DUMP | grep -v '#'

DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps 
DUMP_TMP_D /tmp

where:

• DUMP_TMP_D is the temporary backup files folder;
• DUMP_D is the backup files folder.

The actual paths can be found in the registry branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\PLESK\PSA Config\Config,
where

• key DumpTempDir corresponds to the temporary backup files folder;
• key DUMP_D corresponds to the backup files folder.

To check the respective key, connect to the server via RDP, start Command Prompt and run the following command:

C:\> reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PLESK\PSA Config\Config" /s | findstr DumpTempDir
