Return backup file name features to 12.5
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.
27 votesThere are a number of reasons. The length of the paths to store backups is limited on Windows, complication of the structure due to the introduction of incremental backups, simplify backup representation in UI (after increments appeared, file names do not become human readable).
Support of prefixes makes life very difficult due to these reasons, and the rotation of backups based on prefixes in general has become a puzzle.
So we went to a small degradation, which may be solved elementary by user – putting backups in its own subdirectories. You can discussion this issue on our talk.plesk.com .

Backup-Manager: Show planned backups schedule
Short info in website specific backup manager, if there are scheduled backups planned, and if so then show the schedule. Additional a overview table in server wide backup manager with all schedule backups of each website, e.g.:
domain | daily/weekly/monthly | weekday/date | time | next schedule date | option to editAt the moment you can set scheduled backups and just get a short message, that is is planned, but you can't find the info anywhere anymore. So if I don't remember, I maybe set another scheduled backup and I've no idea, if the first one is reset by…

Start the backup only if your server has the specified amount of free disk space (in megabytes) *
why MB?
why is the input field so small?
why only 5 digits?we need GB!!! or?
42 votesFrom the comments it became clear that the reason for this feature request was that only a limited number of digits could be entered into the input field. This however has long been resolved. Technically it should be quite easy to enter MB instead of GB, too. Changing the field to GB will actually decrease flexibility, because the granularity decreases. For that reason we are closing this feature request.

Make FTP Backup more robust
Make FTP Backup more robust. I constantly get messages that either FTP Backup didn't work or that it made a full backup instead of a incremental.
Also when i open the backup list, often the FTP backups aren't shown the first time... then i need to reload the page.It seems that there is a low timeout or something else that is wrong.
The FTP goes to a 1 gig synchronous NAS in our office and i hear the disk spinning up for a few seconds (the disks go to sleep on inactivity).Maybe this spinup time breaks the backup…

Multiply backups local rule + ftp rule
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 serverAt this point I only can setup 1, local or FTP.

Add third party installations, paths/directories to your plesk backup
I would like to be able to add custom paths to plesk backup that i can backup different third party installations and folders.

If it possible i would like to have a whole backup of all data on my server in one location. So please make it possible that we can add custom paths to plesk backup and restore them together or separately, it is not necessary to fullfill all dependencies, that would be great in addition that…

Give better information regarding backups created in higher level.
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.2 votesThank you for your input!

Plesk should recognize the failure of backup at FTP Storage as an emailable error.
In Scheduled Backup settings, you can tick; "if errors occur during the execution of this backup tasks send a notification email to...". However, if the backup is set up to go to FTP Storage and the FTP site can't be reached, the backup is done to the Server Storage and no error email is sent. This is a problem because if a few days of backups intended for FTP Storage fail and go to Server Storage, contracted server space could be exceeded causing Plesk to suspend / disable the site.
Plesk should complete the backup to the Server Storage, but…

in case of backup: to add the domain name in the filename of the backup. That would be much easier to have a relation to the customer..

Automatically removing of "mysql.preupgrade.*" files
Add an opportunity to remove old database backup "mysql.preupgrade.*" files from the "/var/lib/psa/dumps" folder after the end of the upgrade
1 voteI think it is a bad idea to remove them automatically because these pre-upgrade dumps can be used for recovering your Plesk after serious crashes, unsuccessful updates and upgrades, for restoring missing data, etc.
So, you can always remove these files manually if you are sure.

check backupsize befor restore and copy to server from external ftp
there wanted to be a check that first checks if enough free memory is available on the server before the recovery starts.
it is quite possible that backups fetched from an external ftp storage have around 50 to 100 gb or more and grow to over 200 gb after unpacking, just to recover the one file, unless it is done so well that only that one file is fetched from the archive that is also needed, e.g. when recovering one or more files for a web space.1 voteThank you for your input!
