root@server
plesk bin pleskbackup --domains-name example.com --output-file=/root/backup-example.com.tar

Backs up a domain with website files, databases, mail accounts and settings into a single archive file. Useful before risky changes such as updates or migrations. Depending on the size of the domain, this takes a few minutes.

Note: Check first that there is enough free space at the target path, the file can grow as large as the domain itself.

Open question before approval: Syntax prüfen: --domains-name mit Doppelstrich oder domains-name als Unterbefehl? Prüfen, ob die Datei mit pleskrestore bzw. im Panel wiederherstellbar ist.
