    Not sure that this may be automated. Firstly, not everyone wants this. And secondly, what is the default time to assign this Scheduled backup?
    I think you can use Event manager with the ​corresponding command for enabling this backup in case of triggering Event “Subscription created”.

  5. Service Plans: add possibility to select several backup options.

    In Service Plans, under "Additional Services", add the possibility to select several backup options, such as:

    • Acronis Backup in case that Extension is active, just like for WP Toolkit and Let's Encrypt. If not selected, the service would not be accessible to the Customers having a Subscription with that Service Plan, while the content of these Subscriptions would still be backed up by Acronis.
    • The options to backup to clouds, such as Google Drive, OneDrive, Amazon S3 in Plesk 17.8.

    This would help to better differentiate between different Service Plans on the same Plesk server.

  9. Check backup and restore utility for FULL Server.

    Hi,

    When using backup/restore to restore everything on the server it doesn't work.
    For example: I had a problem ith the server and I had to reinstall it.
    So I created a backup via backup manager
    When I tried to upload it gave error 404 (due to file too big).
    Then I had to copy the backup folder directly, ok, so I went to backup manager and tried to restore everything.

    The server was configured equally, name, applications, everything including same versions.
    The restore reseted all passwords, mysql, email accounts and DNS was not restored correctly.

  11. Backup by dated folders

    As I have a setup for backing up to offsite storage, it would be great to have a backup folder structure that uses dated folders so when it comes to backing up using rsync,it will be easy to see which folders can be copied/deleted and move them

    I have 2 clients on my server and when I configure the dropbox, one client sees the other's dropbox account.
    That is a total disaster in terms of privacy.
    It would have to be configured per client.

  17. Increments should be relative to the last full backup, not to the previous increment

    Now, Plesk performs a multi-level incremental backup because it increases restore times, for example if you schedule a full backup every week, you will have

    day 0 - full backup
    day 1 - first increment (diff with day 0)
    day 2 - second increment (diff with day 1)
    ...
    day 6 - last increment (diff with day 6)

    Increments should be relative to the last full backup:

    day 0 - full backup
    day 1 - first increment (diff with day 0)
    day 2 - second increment (diff with day 0)
    ...
    day 6 - last increment (diff with day 0)

    The described concept is a differential backup, which is different from the concept of incremental backup applied in Plesk.

    Current incremental backup works exactly as intended, minimizing volume of backup if no changes performed between two increments. We don’t intend to change it now

  18. Ability to exclude web access logs file from schedule backup setting

    The incremental backup of plesk works great except for only one thing: log file.

    I find that on high traffic site, the backup will always backup ALL log file even if this is an incremental backup. This create a very large backup file even the site hasn't been changed at all.

    The ability to exclude log from "scheduled backup" will help incremental backup run much faster and save more space.

    There's already an option for "MANUAL" server backup. But not for scheduled / customer / reseller backup. Please enable this option for them too.

  20. Enable additional Schedule Backup with or without Full Backup

    Enable additional Schedule Backup and provide an option to disable the obligation to make a Full Backup (letting user the option to create additional Incremental Backups, without messing things like repeated Full Backups). This already happends if the Admin and Client both setup Backups, it create multiple Full Backups which is not necessary since Admin Backups are create in behalf user.

    Avoiding an additional full backup of a subscription when there is a full backup of the server cannot be considered reasonable for various technical and access permission reasons. It would bring about a large number of disadvantages for users, e.g. very long backup and restore times. It can also not be done for security reasons, because an administrator can and will have other security settings in place for the server backup that should not be diminished by subscription users. For the other aspects mentioned, please see the Uservoice references shown in prevous status updates. Also, regarding the very low number of votes on this feature request and that Plesk is continously improving backup functionality including more versatile options as described in previous status updates, we must decline this request.
