Backup retention period options
It'll be useful to have the ability to configure the retention period of the backup. Right now it's only possible to set the "Maximum number of full backup files to store (including both scheduled and manual backups)".
While it'll be useful to set something like "Keep backup for "x" weeks", to have more flexibility, when it gets to the backup storage.

Plesk backup should be part of slack as email reporting not stable for Plesk backup failure
Plesk backup should be part of slack as email reporting not stable for Plesk backup failure.
1 voteHi Pugmarks Techs,
thank you for your feature suggestion. I assume you are using the Slack extension of Plesk and your suggestion is that Plesk shall add backup manager events such as "backup completed without errors", "backup completed with some errors" and similar to the event handler list so that the Slack extension can react to them.
We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

Generate Backup Hash to Verify on Download
Its a good idea once a backup is generated to expose a hash of it, so if we download it to another media server we have a easy way to check if the backup transfer was successful.

Multiple scheduled Backups
It would be useful to have the ability to make scheduled backups in more than just one FTP server, so that you have multiple backups.
For example, with the Strasbourg fire, I lost two VPSs and the server where I had backups of them.
By having a backup on an additional server, I would have limited the damage.

Add a detailed status message for restoring specific domains via Backup Manager
Restoring a backup in Tools & Settings > Backup Manager always results in a generic message:
Restoration of the backup <timestamp> completed
But this message remains the same both after restoring a full server backup or just some specific domains, which can be confusing.
If only specific domains have been restored, please add a separate message listing these domains.

Allow resellers to use remote FTP backup, but prevent them from changing it's settings
To let resellers use the ftp archive without letting them change the FTP remote settings could give Administrators more control over backups.

Implement a disk space check for "plesk sbin pmm-ras" utility
Exporting a backup via "pmm-ras" utility may bring down the server because it ran out of disk space during the procedure:
plesk sbin pmm-ras --export-dump-as-file --dump-specification=backupinfo<timestamp>.xml --dump-file-specification=/root/backup.tar
Please improve the "pmm-ras" utility to check for free disk space before starting the operation to avoid these scenarios

Limit rate of backup
Full weekly backup for all domains create a huge I/O throughput on our SAN that stress too much our infrastructure until backup ends. It would great if we can tune data through a pipe like "pv" command do.
I.e.
This is an example of backup that stress the SAN:
mysqldump -A -q --single-transaction=TRUE -u $MUSER -p$MPASS | gzip > $_fileThis instead is and example that do not stress the SAN:
mysqldump -A -q --single-transaction=TRUE -u $MUSER -p$MPASS | gzip | pv -L 512k > $_filein the last command we set the maximum rate limit of 512k. Of course…
