Allow sharing of backup file by URL
If customer asks for downloadable copy of a backup but has no access to Plesk, it would be helpful to pass them a downloadable link
The description is refined basing on further description in the comment. Original text of request:
Allow copying a backup in File Sharing section
Useful if a customer ask for a downloadable copy of its site for personal archiving or moving to another provider. Actually we must download the backup locally and reupload, or moving the file via shell.

Name of domain in backup file name.
In the previous version of the control panel, the domain name is included in the name of the file backup.
Now, when you download the file always has the same name (except timestamp), excluding the domain name. I include it manually but may be helpfull if panel do than for me.1 voteSorry, but we don’t plan to implement suggested functionality in upcoming Plesk releases.
Please use separate subdirectories for backup files of the corresponding domains.

Interface that show progress process of compress backup before download.
Interface / control that show progress process of compress backup before download. And reconfigure limit timeout that block dowkload of big files backup
1 voteThank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, this request contains two different suggestions, and it’s not technically possible to properly handle them inside one request.
Please consider creating separate feature requests for each of the items below:
1. “Interface that show progress process of compress backup before download”
We could consider the possibility of implementing this feature in future Plesk releases.
2. “Reconfigure limit timeout that block dowkload of big files backup”
It seems like a bug, so we need to know more about the issue to try to reproduce it. What is the size of these big backups? What happens when this limit exceeded? Could you please describe your request in more detail?
Please create a new request with each item, so that others can vote for it.
Thank you.

Bakup log rotation
Plesk does not rotate backup logs and we needs to delete them by manual.
Backup log might be very big, therefore Plesk should rotate backup logs automatically to prevent oppression of disc capacity by increasing backup logs.Related KB: http://kb.odin.com/en/113748/

This is why I see that --no-zip doesn’t work in the right way, is not useful that Plesk use a switch like --no-zip and the destination direc
Plesk 12 on Windows
Actually, pleskbackup utility uses a flag named --no-zip where files into the destination compressed folder are not previously compressed, but Windows OS read the .zip extension of the folder like a compressed file and this increase so much the backup time (this because become a great I/O consumption).
I think this is not much useful, the correct behavior should be that when a --no-zip switch is used, the destination is not a ZIP file but a standard directory!
In case of servers where many domains with thousands of little files, use a "normal copy" instead of…

Backup: limit backup operation by time period
Server-wide setup to avoid users/customers to do backups on some time intervals. avoiding cpu usage on backups on premium time, leaving more resources for webserver related processes.

Migration and Restore Troubleshooter
The Migration Manager has become better over the years, but there are still occasions in which restores and migrations simply fail due to error messages that do not make sense. We had similar issues with web configuration files, and thanks to the Troubleshooter Extension they could be greatly minimised.
Migration Manager could benefit from a similar extension - perhaps on both the source and destination server and correct problems.

Allow full backup
Currently you can only backup configurations and customer files. While I have installed a few Plesk extensions and PHP extensions it is necessary for me to backup the full server. Allow a option to backup/restore full server with all components.
1 voteSorry, for backing up complete server, you need to use appropriate software, i.e. you can try Acronis backup (http://www.acronis.com/).
PLesk backup will remain focused on content and settings, but not on Plesk distribution, installed components and etc

A License Model for HotBackup Standby
I would like to run a live Backup Server which is synchronous to the real server. If the real server goes down, i would like to change the ip and go online again. For that concept, I need now two full Plesk Licenses. Is there a way to get a cheaper license for the standby backup instance?
1 votePlesk is software per server so its license available only for one server. If you want get cheap licenses then we suggest to use Plesk for virtual servers.

Provide sufficient data in site backup file to re-register Joomla installed Application
With sufficient backup file (info) configuration about an installed Application (in this case, Joomla) it should be possible to "export and import" a site with a Panel installed application and have that application reappear in the Plesk server where the site is "restored". Such information is currently written to the site backup file for WordPress.
Don't necessarily need "Joomla Toolkit" ala "Wordpress Toolkit", but having sufficient configuration information about an installed application should be usable by the Plesk restore (CLI) process to restablish the previously installed application in the "new" Plesk server.

Manage folder for download dump backup
Actually, you can't manage folder destination when you download a backup from plesk interface
Add an option in plesk interface to define the folder path for :
Full backups -> /usr/local/psa/PMM/tmp
Domains backups -> /usr/local/psa/tmpHowever when you download backup files from the Plesk Control Panel, they are copied to a temporary location as a temporary file (these parameters are not manageable) and if you have small partition genrally /dev/md1 not enought than 18 Go, you can block all plesk server

cloud storage for photos - best option?
After years of storing photos on disks, I've started looking into subscribing to a monthly cloud storage service to back up my photos. However, I recently saw a service called CloudBacko (http://free.cloudbacko.com/?r=1d) that offers huge amounts of cloud storage at free of cost. How reasonable? Does anyone else use cloud storage and, if so, which service would you recommend and why.
