S3 Storage with enabled Object Lock
AWS S3 Storage offers the Object Lock feature, which ensures that a file cannot be deleted within a certain time frame. This is ideal for protecting your Plesk backups from accidental manipulation or attackers.
However, to use this feature, the PUT request must include the checksum of the uploaded backup file. If this header is omitted, the following error message appears:
Transport error: Extension transport: ext://s3-backup/server/: Content-MD5 OR x-amz-checksum- HTTP header is required for Put Part requests with Object Lock parameters
Adding one of the headers described at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/checking-object-integrity.html would solve this problem.

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.

Generate Backup Hash to Verify on Download
Its a good idea once a backup is generated to expose a hash of it, so if we download it to another media server we have a easy way to check if the backup transfer was successful.

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

Allow configuring additional storage for Acronis Backup extension users

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!

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.
