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.

Purge before restore (delete existing content before restoring from backup)
If I want to restore all files of a domain because the website has been hacked.... default restoration will simply overwrite existing file.
In the cased of a hacked website, hackers can add suspicious files on the domains and those files won't be remove upon restoration.
It will be great to have an option allowing us to opt for a purge before restoration so that we can completely replace the files, databases, etc. and not simply overwrite existing files.

Add Incremental backups support for Presence Builder
Currently, Presence Builder attachments (for example, images that have been added via Slider module to a domain) ends up in every incremental Plesk backup. Such attachments should not be in incremental backups as they are not being changed, modified, etc before the incremental backup starts.
I suggest adding such a feature for incremental backups support for such Presence Builder files.3 votesThank you for your input. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it is popular. Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

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.
