Backup task may increase server load. In order to balance it, it is required understand how long task has been running.
Currently it is possible to check only from log files, which is not very convenient. Please, add ability to simply check this info in Plesk UI.

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.

Allow excluding patterns from full backups with more control.
For example, exclude pattern A only from Reseller Accounts and pattern B only from Costumers, etc.

It is required to make possible to list backups via REST API.

Hello,

Please add option to restore original file timestamps in backup restoration in Plesk.

Currently, it can be acveived only manyally using tar utility:

tar -xvzf /var/lib/psa/dumps/domains/example.com/backupuser-data1902060958.tgz

When a customer in Plesk removes a subscription-level backup which is a part of full-server backup (or reseller's backup and some customer's backup in case of special rights), it is not displayed anymore in subscription's backup manager. However, it is not actually removed from the server. This confuses customers because they are not aware of what actually occupies so much disk space.

Feature suggestion: make some note/banner in customer's backup manager to inform them that there are some backups which were created on a higher level.
Or
Prevent backup deletion if created at an higher level.

Add capability to select the region when creating S3 Buckets using root account credentials

I tried to change this by modifying extension files but all the files are encrypted.

It'd be easier for to have a directory created for each backup instead of having all the files in, for example, /var/lib/psa/dumps/.
For example, I'd like to have a structure like this:
backup_2011300010.tgz that contains all the files and directories for this backup.

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.

I suggest adding functionality to restore a domain or subscription from a server-wide backup on the Plesk server, where this domain or subscription is missing (for example, it was deleted before). This is very inconvenient when you have to create a nonexistent subscription, then restore it, and then separately restore the domain in it.

It would be useful to be able to remove from a server-wide backup only particular domain's data (such as mailbox accounts) as it will help to manage server's disk space in a more efficient way and store only needed data

Add a possibility to store backups on Linode Object Storage. As it is done for DigitalOcean Spaces, Amazon S3 Backup, Google Drive Backup

Currently, restored backups, which have been downloaded from a remote storage, are being stored locally and appear in the backups list and become part of a backup process.
Expected behavior:
Download, restore & delete downloaded backup files. Remove from the backup list.

Add to Plesk functionality to allow the clients to restore the backups on the remote server via FTPS.
The administrator can create backups and clients can restore their own parts of backups. As how it is done with common backups on local storage

If you do not want to use FTP or SFTP you can also use Samba

I'd really like to have a UI to select what is contained in a serverwide scheduled backup.
We have a couple of domains where people dump photos and videos for further processing, amounting to 100s of GBs, and we don't need backups of those.
The UI you got for the restore dialog would be just fine.
I think it makes more sense to select what is contained, than what to exclude.

It is required to create/restore SFTP backups via CLI to automate the process

The Backup Manager should be able to show the backups of all domains below the admin, including resellers.

Have a better backup system (Can select exactly what files you want to backup in a good UI)
