The problem that has never ever changed with plesk. The backup problem. It either doesn't work or it crashes the server ...
And the best : When it crashes the server and you reboot the server it automatically somehow restarts the nightmare.
There is no way to kill it... And if you do kill it it leaves garbage in the /var/lib/psa/dump which then you don't want to delete manually in order not to cause some other kind of problem.
Now its been running for houuurssss and its stuck in 100% for 2 hours.
Its not uploading anything and there are 2 process running which I have no idea what they are doing right now.

Scott and Mike. On behalf of most users (I believe so...) please create a script which we will be able to use to effectively backup our servers to a remote location .... Or lets all discuss it and maybe we can create something as a community ...
I am thinking rsync as one way but I've been troubled with a few things at that edge.
I mean its crazy. The server won't even use half of its resources and nothing is enough with the way plesk does its backup.
So the server needs in order to run all its domains 2GB and for the backup it need 8GB ram. And if you have swap enabled ? BOOM server is out of life...
Cpanel has its bad issues with remote ftp backup but at least it backups user data, and doesn't kill the server, neither it needs a RAM farm.
