Sauvegarde de votre compte serveur

Avec les outils intégrés à Plesk, vous pouvez choisir de sauvegarder l’ensemble de votre compte serveur sans aucun logiciel ou plugin externe.

Lorsque vous êtes connecté à Plesk, vous pouvez accéder au gestionnaire de sauvegarde en ouvrant le menu de droite de Plesk, puis en cliquant sur Sauvegarder et restaurer :

Paramètres du stockage distant

À moins que vous ne souhaitiez effectuer une sauvegarde locale (sur le même serveur), il est préférable de mettre en place un stockage distant. En définissant un stockage distant comme cible de vos sauvegardes, vous pouvez être sûr que vos sauvegardes seront stockées ailleurs que sur le serveur lui-même. Il s’agit d'une simple mesure de précaution pour se protéger contre la perte de données.

Pour définir ce stockage distant, cliquez sur le bouton supérieur Paramètres du stockage distant.

Dans l’écran qui s'ouvre, vous pouvez sélectionner le type de stockage distant que vous souhaitez utiliser comme destination de sauvegarde :

FTP and SFTP

It is a very professional solution. It allows you to use your own backup server (like a NAS), a professional file storage service (like the Flex or Vault services provided by Hosterra), etc. as backup destination. If you have choice, we recommend that you give priority to SFTP, which is a much more secure protocol than FTP.

Cloud drives (Dropbox, Google, OneDrive, etc.)

That's a simple solution, and sometimes free for small backup sizes, but it has a huge privacy implication. Choose this if you fully understand all the implications it has for you, your customers and the users of your sites.

Object storage (S3 Amazon, DigitalOcean and S3-compatible)

It's a professional solution. But it can be expensive, depending on the S3 provider. You have to understand what you are technically doing to use this type of remote storage.

If you don't see the remote storage type you want to use, it is because it is not yet activated on your server. You can ask us to activate it just by asking us in a ticket, it's free!

Instant backup

To perform an instant backup, click on the upper Back Up button in the backup manager.

In the opened screen just choose what you want to backup and the destination. The backup will start as soon you click on the "OK" button.

Note: if you choose to make local instant backups, the size of the backups will count towards your server disk quota.

Scheduled backup

You can ask Plesk to back up your account on a periodic basis. To do so, click on the upper Schedule button in the backup manager.

In the screen that opens, choose the backup frequency by selecting it (daily, weekly or monthly), then set the parameters of the backup it self.

If you want to save on storage size and bandwidth, you can choose incremental backup. If so, Plesk will backup only data that has been modified since the previous backup.

Note: if you choose to make local scheduled backups, the size of the backups will count towards your server disk quota.
