It is important to create a backup of your site in Plesk when it goes live and to create backups regularly. This makes it possible to restore your website quickly if needed (for example, an error during a site update or the installation of an incompatible module). It is recommended to create several backups of your website.

Plesk allows you to back up:

  • The configuration of your domain name
  • The configuration and content of your email boxes
  • The files and database of your website

Lorsque je fais une sauvegarde depuis mon plesk elle se lance bien mais au bout de plusieurs minutes j'ai une erreur qui me dis que la connexion a été interrompu. J'ai essayé à plusieurs reprises mais toujours le même problème. Je ne sais pas qui perd la connexion et surtout je ne vois ni lws ni plesk la perdre.
