Create a Backup
First, log in to the Customer Center using your login credentials and open the Plesk Control Panel for the relevant server.
Backing Up the Server
Navigate to the menu item Tools & Settings → Backup Manager and click the Create Backup button.
In the next step, you can select which content you want to back up. Then, specify whether the manual backup should be a full or incremental backup. If you select “Full,” a new, independent backup will be created, regardless of any existing server backups. If you select “Incremental,” only the changes made since the last full or incremental backup will be backed up.
Then click the “OK” button to start the backup task.
The Plesk backup task requires CPU resources and free disk space, so the performance of the websites hosted on the server may be affected while it is running. Therefore, before starting the backup task, make sure the server has sufficient CPU and disk resources.
Once the backup process has completed successfully, the backup will be available for restoration in the Global Backup Manager.
