According to https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007305893 , it is required to enable resume uploads on FTP server side, however, it would be nice to have the option to disable resume uploading from Plesk side in case if there is no access to FTP server

I know that the backup feature was rewritten in 12.5, but it is very difficult to easily identify various server and individual site backups on a remote FTP drive now that all you see displayed in the UI is the date / time. The backup features of 12.0 that included adding a prefix to the file name and also being able to actually see the file name is sorely missed.

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".

I want the backup restore feature to be added to the XML API

backup only database daily. not with all file..
for me my DB only 200mb and site 5GO...

Kindly add a GUI progress notification for extraction of zip files.
Thanks.

Hello,

While creating backup via Plesk control panel it would be great to have ability exclude email accounts of particular domain name, not all email accounts at once.
This is due to the fact that when the mail accounts are very large, it significantly increases the time to create a backup, and causes it's freezing as a result.

Thanks.

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.

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

option 2 set 2 or more backup rules.

now its very time comsumming to download a backup from a FTP location if you want to restore 1 single subscription. My idea is to make 2 rules. So I can restore the backup of the previous day from local. And if I need an older backup I can download it from a FTP location.

1) 14+ days backup retention backup to FTP backup
2) 1 day backup retention on local server

At this point I only can setup 1, local or FTP.

A simple checkbox in a service plan to mark, if this service plan includes the scheduled backup. The scheduled backup should backup a domain if and only if the domain has a serviceplan with this flag checked.

Right now Plesk backup system is very limited to be honest, it's missing some key features, one thing i would like is to be able to controle backups way more then now, and have multiple locations to backup to.

1) Abillity to do multiple backups pr. day, option to controle what is backup at what time points, ex database backup at 6:00 12:00 18:00 and full backup 00:00.

2) Abillity to have multiple backup locations, with our barebone setup we have multiple backup locations, 2xFTP and S3 backup, Plesk is missing the option for multiple backup locations.

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

For example, you cannot specify you want the full backup on Sunday.

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

A loadscreen for uploading a Backup just that you know how long it will need to Upload
