Keep Static Back up, that can be deleted ONLY manual
Keep Static Back up, that can be deleted ONLY manual. Prevent rotation to delete a specific back up that i decice, so i have a base back up as reference for as long as i need. That will make me feel safe that if the 7 days of rotation that i have to my back up, passed, i still be able to retrive a back up!

Add option to include backups in remote storage into Disk usage statistics
Add option to include backups in remote storage (such as FTP/S3) into Disk usage statistics. For example, it is possible to include backups that were created by administrator and it would be useful to add option to exclude/include backups in remote storage into statistics

Backup/Restore a table or DB to file
Backup / Restore manager is fine, but what if we only want to restore one / several tables, not the whole Database?
Add feature to restore single tables only.Or even more flexible: add the possibility to restore a DB dump to a file. This file can then be searched / adjusted to restore specific tables only. Once it is adjusted we could load it in the DB / perform the restore.

Purge before restore (delete existing content before restoring from backup)
If I want to restore all files of a domain because the website has been hacked.... default restoration will simply overwrite existing file.
In the cased of a hacked website, hackers can add suspicious files on the domains and those files won't be remove upon restoration.
It will be great to have an option allowing us to opt for a purge before restoration so that we can completely replace the files, databases, etc. and not simply overwrite existing files.

Add Incremental backups support for Presence Builder
Currently, Presence Builder attachments (for example, images that have been added via Slider module to a domain) ends up in every incremental Plesk backup. Such attachments should not be in incremental backups as they are not being changed, modified, etc before the incremental backup starts.
I suggest adding such a feature for incremental backups support for such Presence Builder files.4 votesThank you for your input. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it is popular. Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

Change the extension order of Plesk multi-volume backups
At the moment the extension order of Plesk multi-volume backups is the following:
<DateFormateHHMMss.zip>
<DateFormateHHMMss.zip1>
<DateFormateHHMMss.zip2>This means that volumes .zip1, .zip2 can not be extracted after their downloading because they have an incorrect zip extension format.
The idea to change the extension order of Plesk multi-volume backups to:
<DateFormateHHMMss>.Zip
<DateFormateHHMMss>1.Zip
<DateFormateHHMMss>2.ZipThat the multi-volume backups have the correct zip format and can be extracted.

Exclude selected email accounts from backups
It would be useful to be able to remove from a server-wide backup only particular domain's data (such as mailbox accounts) as it will help to manage server's disk space in a more efficient way and store only needed data

Backup Extension for Google Cloud / Amazon Glacier
Plesk does currently only support Amazon S3. Amazon Glacier is cheaper than S3 and also good for backups. Also support for Google Cloud would be great since at the moment, Plesk does only support Google Drive which is no professional backup (example: https://github.com/plesk/ext-cloud-backup-example).

Add the possibility to back up/include selected files and folders in the Backups
Currently, it's possible to exclude some files/folders from backup creation: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000773605
But this feature should be improved because in some cases excluding is not a valid solution.
Let's say that there are multiple files and folders, as you can imagine, the list of exclusion would be too long and it would require a lot of time to create it. Moreover, the list will need to be updated each time there are new folders on the webspace.
Due to these reasons, an improvement should be provided to this feature, the customer should be able to create a backup including only the…

Remove Local Backups Automatically after a Restoration
When you want to Restore a Backup from FTP, first this backup it's downloaded to the Local Plesk Server and then the restoration starts.
At the end of the restoration process, the Local Backup it's still there, maybe it's better to save this space deleting this Local Backup and maintain only the FTP backup which was downloaded.

Add ability to obtain information about Backup Settings via CLI.
Please, add a feature to be able to check Backup manager settings (including Scheduled backup settings), server-wide and for the particular domain via CLI. It would be very convenient for server administration to get information about backup settings in one place: for example, if there are multiple domains with different settings.
