If you are trying to backup your server to a ftp location don’t forget to specify destination file on the remote server, or you’ll receive this error:
[root@apollo ~]# export FTP_PASSWORD="secret" [root@apollo ~]# /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup --no-gzip all --skip-logs ftp://backup:@backup.example.com/ Unable to parse options: Bad FTP file format at /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup line 287.
