Plesk

Back up websites, databases and settings from Plesk to Zata.

Plesk can store server and website backups in a Zata bucket. You use the Amazon S3 Backup extension with a custom (S3-compatible) service provider.

Before you start

  • A bucket for the backups, for example plesk-backups. See Create a bucket.
  • An access key from the same region as the bucket. See Access keys.
  • Admin access to Plesk (usually https://your-server:8443).
