Excluding server-wide backups via a command-line interface

 

  1. Connect to a Plesk server via SSH.

  2. Run the command:

    # plesk bin server_pref -u -include-admindumps <option>

    where <option> can be one of the following:

    • true - enables including domain backup files in the disk space usage calculation
    • false - disables including domain backup files in the disk space usage calculation

 

Note: Subscription disk usage will be recalculated with the next Daily Maintenance Backup Task execution.
