If you cannot access your Plesk interface, you can still create a full system backup or back up specific domains easily through SSH using just a few simple commands.



🗃️ 1. Back Up the Entire Server​

To create a full server backup, use the following command:
Bash:
plesk bin pleskbackup server --description="Jetto backup"

The backup file will automatically be saved to:
Bash:
/var/lib/psa/dumps/

If you prefer to take a backup without requiring a password, run this command:
Bash:
plesk bin pleskbackup server --description="Jetto backup" --no-password



📜 2. Back Up a Specific Domain​

To back up a specific domain and save it to a desired location, use:
Bash:
plesk bin pleskbackup --domains-name jetto.net --output-file="/root/jetto.net.zip" -v

This command creates a backup of the jetto.net domain and stores it as a .zip file in the /root directory.
