By default the Backup Manager in Plesk stores local backups in /var/lib/psa/dumps.
You can change this location by editing /etc/psa/psa.conf. Find the following block in the file:
1 2 3 |
# Backups directory DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps DUMP_TMP_D /tmp |
Change the path for DUMP_D to your new desired location, then restart Plesk for the changes to take effect:
1 2 |
service psa stopall service psa restart |
Alternatively, if you don’t want to make the change, you can mount another volume to the default backup directory (such as an Amazon S3 Bucket).
