Plesk error: “gzip: stdout: Broken pipe” when attempting to backup domains
Reason: Backup utility failed to write data to disk for some reasons.
Check permissions on backup folder and it’s sub folders. Right permissions are:
grep DUMP_D /etc/psa/psa.conf | awk ‘{print “ls -ld “$2}’ | sh
drwxr-x— 7 psaadm psaadm /var/lib/psa/dumps
Make sure that is is enough free disk space on dump partition.

e2fsck - check a Linux ext2/ext3 file system
We can set up an automatic rsync and place the files into daily folders. For this to work we need to setup automatic ssh login first and then use cron to run your bash script.
The base of the automatic rsync is a very simple bash script.
#!/bin/bash
dest=/backup/buddy/`date +%A`
mkdir -p $dest
rsync -e ’ssh -p 2222′ -avl –delete –stats –progress root@192.168.1.1:/home/buddy $dest/
Using Cron to run the above script every day.
# run rsync at 23.00hrs every day
00 23 * * * sh /home/backup/bin/backup
How can I backup a currently installed RPM
–repackage Re-package the files before erasing.
The previously installed package will be named according to the macro %_repackage_name_fmt and will be created in the directory named by the macro %_repackage_dir (default value is /var/spool/repackage).
–replacefiles
Install the packages even if they replace files from other, already installed, packages.
–replacepkgs
Install the packages even if some of them are already installed on this system.
Once the package has been downloaded, install it with the –repackage option.
This will create an RPM from the existing package and install the new one.
rpm -Fvh –repackage rpm-file-name.rpm
