  1. To match the expiration date with current date

    Hi there

    Today is 20 November and the expiration day is 22 November. But already all tasks include back up are suspended. I suggest managers to match these days and let users use all features till the last second.

    Best Regards.

  2. Why not adding possibility to backup entire harddrive?

    With plesk I can easily backup single domains. Thats really good but not really helpful as I need to backup entire server. I made a lot of custom changings directly on ssh. Why is there no function in plesk to backup the entire hard drive?

    First – you can backup whole Plesk server (not only one domain) as administrator.
    Second – you can’t backup hard drive where Plesk and many other processes are running. Backup will be inconsistent. Moreover, physical access to hard drive is required.
    So, backup of hard drive is Linux administrator’s task but not Plesk administrator.

  4. Know which Plesk login has created or restored backup in Plesk

    Include in Plesk a new feature to find out which Plesk login has created or restored a backup in Plesk. This could be done recording such logs in Plesk Action Log.

  5. 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.

  6. 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…

  9. 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..

  10. Add possibility to restore password of FTP user at FTP backup repository

    Add to Plesk option to retrieve password for FTP user specified in Plesk > Tools & Settings > Backup manager > Remote storage settings > FTP. The use-case is when user forgot his password for FTP repository and wants to restore it from Plesk interface.

    I 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.

  13. 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.

    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”.

  17. 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.
