avoid Plesk panel update when a backup is running
Plesk updates the panel while a backup process is running. This can interrupt a backup, for example:
Error: Server "<hostname>"
Value at Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\Admin\AdminAType\PreferencesAType -> Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\Admin -> Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\MigrationDump is expected to be an object of class Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\ScheduledTasks but is of type array
Error:
Unable to create the remote backup: Repository error: Failed to open the file '/usr/local/psa/PMM/tmp/pmm-de-tmp-repo-NnwqUP/backuplickey002410212254.tzst': No such file or directory
but I have observed other similar issues before. On large servers, a full backup can run for many hours. If it fails, many hours of high cpu load are lost and the backup must be repeated the next night. It would be better to move the Panel updates dynamically forward into a time frame when the software detects that no backups are running.

Thank you for your input! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it becomes popular.
Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.
In the meantime, you may consider scheduling Plesk's major updates for days/times when backup jobs are not expected to run.
