Hello Martin,

I have tested your plesk-to-s3 tool, nice job! After one day, it seems the perfect addition to a standard Plesk install for offsite s3 backup. I had a few issues during install that might be worth reporting.

Using installation instructions. When I reach the following stage...

python s3cmd-master/setup.py install

...my standard Centos 6.5 VPS complains that installation cannot be completed. Unfortunately I have already worked more on that server, so I cannot retrieve the error any more.
I just did...

cd /root/hypersrv.com/plesk-to-s3
python setup.py install

...and installation was successful.
Then, the following installation stage failed because files were not in the expected position:

cp {plesk-to-s3,daily,monthly}.sh /root/hypersrv.com/plesk-to-s3/

I cd'd to the directory and did...

touch plesk-to-s3.sh
vi plesk-to-s3.sh
[copy-paste file content from github]

...Repeated these steps to create daily.sh and monthly.sh.

My last issue was that I mistakenly added cron command to "psa" user, rather than root. This is stated correctly in your instructions ("add to root cron..."), but you might want to write ROOT in capitals so users will not overlook it as I did. :-)

Last thing about instructions, you might want to state that daily.sh and monthly.sh do a server backup when started. Users should disable similar backups scheduled in Plesk to avoid overlapping.

Hope the above is of any use to you. Thanks again for the nice tool!

Alessandro

Hello;

Is this safe and have you tried it on plesk 17 (onyx)?
