  3. Move backup compressed file from /httpdocs to backup manager pool

    Occasionally we need to move whole subscription between servers. We use the target ftp account as ftp storage on source server.

    So, functionality that could allow us to move this compressed .tar file from /httpdocs/mybackupfolder to backup manager pool available for restore would be great

  5. Fix bugs in Backup Manager

    • when backups fail with the message "file changed as we read it", there should be a hint to lock domain during backup
    • deleting a backup from ftp says it is successful but stays there (Management Interface and FTP)
    • when deleting a backup from an incremental chain, there should be a warning that all following backups will be removed as well (since data would be inconsistent otherwise). Or maybe use a different color or section in the deletion dialog displaying all backups going to be deleted

  8. Backup orphan database (not linked to a website)

    Hi,
    I use Drupal CMS to create my wbesites
    I use the Drupal multisite functionality :
    - only one installation of Drupal on a main domain
    - a folder with the custom modules and templates for each additional website
    - each additional website is an alias of the main installation
    - a database for each additional website

    So, with the Plesk backup functionnality, I cannot backup my databases because there are not linked to a domain

    Thanks,

  9. Backup-Manager: Show planned backups schedule

    Short info in website specific backup manager, if there are scheduled backups planned, and if so then show the schedule. Additional a overview table in server wide backup manager with all schedule backups of each website, e.g.:
    domain | daily/weekly/monthly | weekday/date | time | next schedule date | option to edit

    At the moment you can set scheduled backups and just get a short message, that is is planned, but you can't find the info anywhere anymore. So if I don't remember, I maybe set another scheduled backup and I've no idea, if the first one is reset by…

  14. Add third party installations, paths/directories to your plesk backup

    I would like to be able to add custom paths to plesk backup that i can backup different third party installations and folders. For Example i have a gitlab and mosquitto on my root server running unfortunately they are not getting backuped up by plesk. If it possible i would like to have a whole backup of all data on my server in one location. So please make it possible that we can add custom paths to plesk backup and restore them together or separately, it is not necessary to fullfill all dependencies, that would be great in addition that…

  15. 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.

  17. 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.

    Thank 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.

  19. Compress backups while doing

    Actually backups are compressed at the end. My uncompressed backup is 1TB, compressed is just 200 GB, but I still need 1 TB of free space for backup to be performed.

    In Plesk 12.5 backup data compression is performed during backup, not after or at the end.
    Unfortunately, we cannot confirm this issue, so we are closing this request, since it does not contain any new feature suggestions. If you have additional information about this issue or want to get advice from the community, please go to our forum at http://talk.plesk.com. Thank you.

  20. Make FTP Backup more robust

    Make FTP Backup more robust. I constantly get messages that either FTP Backup didn't work or that it made a full backup instead of a incremental.
    Also when i open the backup list, often the FTP backups aren't shown the first time... then i need to reload the page.

    It seems that there is a low timeout or something else that is wrong.
    The FTP goes to a 1 gig synchronous NAS in our office and i hear the disk spinning up for a few seconds (the disks go to sleep on inactivity).

    Maybe this spinup time breaks the backup…
