Set day for full backup on incremental backup.
Requesting the ability to set a day of a week, or day of the month that the full backup will be ran if using incremental backup.
reason for request:
for our setup, we have 15 plesk servers running all of one SAN. we find that on the day of the week the full backup is running, the IO / load on the SAN is much higher. it would be nice to be able to space out those servers by selecting days the full backups are preformed.22 votesThank you for your input!

Have a status/progress bar when uploading restore files to a new installation (Migrator progess bar)
At the moment I have no idea how far along my upload is, or if the Plesk Control Panel has times out or just stuck.
It would be really helpful to have a progress bar or remaining data outstanding to upload on the screen

don't write in the backup repository during plesk updates
I mounted a remote server via sshfs and set it as the plesk backup repository, so I can backup my domains through sftp (with a keyfile).
But now, whenever I try to upgrade my plesk installation, plesk writes files to my backup repository (i.e. mysql backup before a mysql upgrade) and immediately tries to change the owner of the file, which fails because chown it is not supported on mounted directories.
The best solution would be to provide the option to set a different path for automated backups.

Add XML API operations to manage Backup Password and Scheduled Backup
Some useful functionalities of Backup in Web UI are not available in the XML API. Like configuring Password or Scheduled Backup. Those operations are at server level.
I think it would be useful to add the 4 following operations :
backup-manager / set-secure-backup-settings
backup-manager / get-secure-backup-settingsWith attributes like :
- use-password-protection : boolean
- password : stringbackup-manager / set-schedule-settings
backup-manager / get-schedule-settingsWith attributes like :
- enable : boolean
- period : 86400 | 604800 |2592000
- hour : integer from 0 to 23
- minute : 0 | 15 | 30 |45
- use-incremental : boolean…22 votesThank you for your input! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

Limit amount of backups per customer
Hey guys,
I am sure that I speak for hundreds of users when I say that having a limit on backups per customers and or subscriptions should be an important and available option. The option to also limit backups based on the customers subscription storage size will be even better. Otherwise, customers who overuse the backup option will dramatically increase storage space on the server without realization of the administrator. It wouldn't be ideal for an administrator to enter the dumps folder to delete random customer backups. Really hope you guys can resolve this and add this feature as soon…

Backup single account
It would be great to have a single interface to manage backups of individual accounts (single-domain or single user).
I would like to manage a single server backup ftp and let me choose which accounts to backup.Obviously the backup file must be "single" for each account and not a single file for the entire server. If you want to make the restore of a single account, I have to use a single backup file.
Currently I have a script that through bash (or cygwin for windows) backs up the single account by bees and upload via ftp on external…

mail after successful backup
Currently you get after completing a backup, only one mail, if errors occur. For me it would be helpful to have the option to receive an e-mail even when successful backup.
