I have merged the request by creoline into this existing one. Actually, adding a parameter like --single-transaction requires careful consideration of many side effects that this can have. It is explained well in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41683158/mysqldump-single-transaction-option and comments. But like IG I also think it is a valid request.
We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

Clear failed backup/restore notifications at once in UI
There are so many notifications in backup manager regarding failed backups and clearing them 'close this message' is so slow. It would be nice to have a way to clear them all at once

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!
2 votesThank you for your feature request. We will consider the possibility of its implementation if it becomes sufficiently popular and in demand.

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.

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.

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.

Separate rotation for backups hosted in clouds
When on Plesk server there is not much space, and on clouds (like Amazon S3), there is a lot - the separate rotation for backups would be useful: to set on Plesk to rotate frequently, and in the cloud - far more rarely.

Verify backups using checksum instead of partial file download
FTP backups are verified using the download of part of the file, however some hosts do not support partial file download. It would be good to allow verification using some other method such as fle checksum.

Define maximum number of saved backups in Service Plan
As an administrator you currently can define the maximum number of full backups to store. This maximum number applies to all backups, stored locally or remote.
This is a feature request for:a) defining a separate maximum for locally stored backups and a separate maximum for remotely stored backups. b) as well defining those maximum numbers in service plans.
The option to define the maximum number of stored backups in a service plan would allow administrators to fulfill backup needs on a per customer basis. And even sell additional backups to customers who might have a need for much longer backup retention.
Defining a separate maximum value for local and…

Ability to set a Subscription or Domain Backup Default
I'd love the ability to set a subscription such that a Scheduled Backup configuration is enabled by default? E.g. "backup all files, daily, store 1 day"?
Often times I realized after the fact that a domain backup was not turned on. The "scheduled backup list" extension is nice, but I'm looking more for a default option.

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.
