How to perform website backups in Plesk

This demo assumes you’ve already logged in to Plesk.

Now let’s learn how to backup our website.

Click the Backup Manager link here on the right.

From here you can run an instant backup of your site, or schedule backups to occur in the future.

To backup your site instantly, click Backup.

Decide what content you wish to backup, and whether it’s to be a full or incremental backup.

Configure your backup settings, then click OK.

That’s it! Your backup has begun.

If you want to setup scheduled backups, click Schedule.

Click to activate this backup task, then set the backup frequency.

Set how long to keep the backup files…

… then configure the rest of the backup settings, before clicking OK.

This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to backup your website in Plesk.

That’s it! The backup task was successfully scheduled, and backups will now occur automatically at the intervals chosen.
