1. 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

2. 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.

4. Have a status/progress bar when uploading restore files to a new installation (Migrator progess bar)

   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

5. don't write in the backup repository during plesk updates

   I mounted a remote server via sshfs and set it as the plesk backup repository, so I can backup my domains through sftp (with a keyfile).

   But now, whenever I try to upgrade my plesk installation, plesk writes files to my backup repository (i.e. mysql backup before a mysql upgrade) and immediately tries to change the owner of the file, which fails because chown it is not supported on mounted directories.

   The best solution would be to provide the option to set a different path for automated backups.

8. Add XML API operations to manage Backup Password and Scheduled Backup

   Some useful functionalities of Backup in Web UI are not available in the XML API. Like configuring Password or Scheduled Backup. Those operations are at server level.

   I think it would be useful to add the 4 following operations :

   backup-manager / set-secure-backup-settings
   backup-manager / get-secure-backup-settings

   With attributes like :
   - use-password-protection : boolean
   - password : string

   backup-manager / set-schedule-settings
   backup-manager / get-schedule-settings

   With attributes like :
   - enable : boolean
   - period : 86400 | 604800 |2592000
   - hour : integer from 0 to 23
   - minute : 0 | 15 | 30 |45
   - use-incremental : boolean
   - full-backup-period : 604800 | 2592000 | 31536000
   - max-dump-files-unit : integer
   - backup-content-mail : boolean
   - backup-content-vhost : boolean
   - repository : local | remote
   - failure-notification : boolean
   - failure-notification-email : string
   - suspend : boolean

   It can also be done by adding more attributes to existing operations.
   For password, on xxx-remote-storage-settings.
   For Scheduled Backup, on backup-server.

9. Allow selective download of single files from an external backup archive

   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...

13. 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 as possible.

15. add backup password protection to Backup Manager Backups (NO..it doesn't have it at the mo)

    This may also be a security issue.
    Currently there are no special protection of user content in the backup. Plesk protects only its sensitive data, web content archived without any encryption.

    If some gains ADMIN access to a wordpress/drupal/other web applications install parts of the Plesk container file system, cron jobs, etc will be compromised and would undoubtably increase exponentially the chances of the system to be exploited with virus, rootkits, malware “indirectly” affecting Plesk. (as an analogy no point to build a metal wall if the door is still glass)

    So, in other words ... if a wordpress installation is compromised the installations of malicious (or not) plugins can lead to the installations of rootkit, malware and virus at the container. I cannot see for a second how this would be good for any Virtuozzo container running Plesk and how you could consider Plesk not being affect if for instance the container is used to conduct a DDOS to a random host.

16. Backup single account

    It would be great to have a single interface to manage backups of individual accounts (single-domain or single user).
    I would like to manage a single server backup ftp and let me choose which accounts to backup.

    Obviously the backup file must be "single" for each account and not a single file for the entire server. If you want to make the restore of a single account, I have to use a single backup file.

    Currently I have a script that through bash (or cygwin for windows) backs up the single account by bees and upload via ftp on external storage. I would avoid using external tools and remain in plesk.
