Dropbox Backup Extension
Can you please make an option in the Dropbox scheduled backup for weekly and monthly...?
We want to turn off daily but keep weekly or monthly.
This is also useful for bandwidth when you are being charged everyday to output xxGB out of the sever to Dropbox. (weekly may be ok since this Dropbox is not the primary backup solution but a secondary one for us and we don't need it to upload the xxGB backup daily...)
Thank you

FTP - Auto-Create Folder
When it comesto FTP Backup one can configure external FTP space and det a folder to be used.
If that folder does not exist Plesk errors out this fact and the normal user is somehow lost.
It would be a nice feature to have a checkbox to be checked that says "create folder structure if not existing".

Backup and restoration
Hi, To restore a single file from FTP repository, it required whole full to download and then restore required data. Which consumes lot of time. Please try to work this backup/restore operation like other backup application where we can select required data and it get easily download without time consuming.
Also the backup tab should give option like dayswise full, incremental backup. Start and stop backup schedule, etc...

Include roundcube settings in backup
it would be great when the content of roundcubemail, like contacts and identities can be included in the backup. It would make life easier in case of restoring a customer who uses only the webmail feature for mail.

Set day for full backup on incremental backup.
Requesting the ability to set a day of a week, or day of the month that the full backup will be ran if using incremental backup.
reason for request:
for our setup, we have 15 plesk servers running all of one SAN. we find that on the day of the week the full backup is running, the IO / load on the SAN is much higher. it would be nice to be able to space out those servers by selecting days the full backups are preformed.15 votesThank you for your input!

Off site backup on the fly. Currently offsite backup needs half the disc to be empty to work
Currently the Plesk backup routine to FTP off-site or Dropbox is clumsy in the it makes a tar file (not compressed as far as I can see) on the server BEFORE sending it to the remote storage server. So to back up 20gb you need at another 20gb free on the original server to be backed up. The programme should be able to tar compress send with a small cache on the fly. I cannot use the PLESK back-up as I am 60% full on the VPS

Limit amount of backups per customer
Hey guys,
I am sure that I speak for hundreds of users when I say that having a limit on backups per customers and or subscriptions should be an important and available option. The option to also limit backups based on the customers subscription storage size will be even better. Otherwise, customers who overuse the backup option will dramatically increase storage space on the server without realization of the administrator. It wouldn't be ideal for an administrator to enter the dumps folder to delete random customer backups. Really hope you guys can resolve this and add this feature as soon…

Have a status/progress bar when uploading restore files to a new installation.
At the moment I have no idea how far along my upload is, or if the Plesk Control Panel has times out or just stuck.
It would be really helpful to have a progress bar or remaining data outstanding to upload on the screen
