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.

Multiple scheduled Backups
It would be useful to have the ability to make scheduled backups in more than just one FTP server, so that you have multiple backups.
For example, with the Strasbourg fire, I lost two VPSs and the server where I had backups of them.
By having a backup on an additional server, I would have limited the damage.

Add a detailed status message for restoring specific domains via Backup Manager
Restoring a backup in Tools & Settings > Backup Manager always results in a generic message:
Restoration of the backup <timestamp> completed
But this message remains the same both after restoring a full server backup or just some specific domains, which can be confusing.
If only specific domains have been restored, please add a separate message listing these domains.

Allow resellers to use remote FTP backup, but prevent them from changing it's settings
To let resellers use the ftp archive without letting them change the FTP remote settings could give Administrators more control over backups.

Limit rate of backup
Full weekly backup for all domains create a huge I/O throughput on our SAN that stress too much our infrastructure until backup ends. It would great if we can tune data through a pipe like "pv" command do.
I.e.
This is an example of backup that stress the SAN:
mysqldump -A -q --single-transaction=TRUE -u $MUSER -p$MPASS | gzip > $_fileThis instead is and example that do not stress the SAN:
mysqldump -A -q --single-transaction=TRUE -u $MUSER -p$MPASS | gzip | pv -L 512k > $_filein the last command we set the maximum rate limit of 512k. Of course…

Implement a disk space check for "plesk sbin pmm-ras" utility
Exporting a backup via "pmm-ras" utility may bring down the server because it ran out of disk space during the procedure:
plesk sbin pmm-ras --export-dump-as-file --dump-specification=backupinfo<timestamp>.xml --dump-file-specification=/root/backup.tar
Please improve the "pmm-ras" utility to check for free disk space before starting the operation to avoid these scenarios
