Plesk error: “gzip: stdout: Broken pipe” when attempting to backup domains

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.

The gzip utility

By far the most popular file compression utility in Linux is the gzip utility. The gzip package
is a creation of the GNU Project, in their attempt to create a free version of the original Unix
compress utility. This package includes the files.

gzip for compressing files
gzcat for displaying the contents of compressed text files
gunzip for uncompressing files

These utilities work the same way as the bzip2 utilities:

The gzip command compresses every file in the directory that matches the wildcard pattern.
