I'm using Persian for files name and scheduled a backup. But after download find-out weird name for Persian name files and I had to use zip to make another backup. Obviously I had to download it again.
1 voteSohei, starting from Plesk 12.5 it does not allow users to set prefix for backup file names but gives backup files the names in automatic manner. We suggest to upgrade to Plesk 12.5.

Backup orphan database (not linked to a website)
Hi,
I use Drupal CMS to create my wbesites

- each additional website is an alias of the main installation
- a database for each additional websiteSo, with the Plesk backup functionnality, I cannot backup my databases because there are not linked to a domain
Thanks,

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 editAt 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…

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…

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.

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.
1 voteIn 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.-DL

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…

Return backup file name features to 12.5
I know that the backup feature was rewritten in 12.5, but it is very difficult to easily identify various server and individual site backups on a remote FTP drive now that all you see displayed in the UI is the date / time. The backup features of 12.0 that included adding a prefix to the file name and also being able to actually see the file name is sorely missed.
27 votesThere are a number of reasons. The length of the paths to store backups is limited on Windows, complication of the structure due to the introduction of incremental backups, simplify backup representation in UI (after increments appeared, file names do not become human readable).
Support of prefixes makes life very difficult due to these reasons, and the rotation of backups based on prefixes in general has become a puzzle.
So we went to a small degradation, which may be solved elementary by user – putting backups in its own subdirectories. You can discussion this issue on our talk.plesk.com .

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/

Multiply backups local rule + ftp rule
option 2 set 2 or more backup rules.
now its very time comsumming to download a backup from a FTP location if you want to restore 1 single subscription. My idea is to make 2 rules. So I can restore the backup of the previous day from local. And if I need an older backup I can download it from a FTP location.
1) 14+ days backup retention backup to FTP backup
2) 1 day backup retention on local serverAt this point I only can setup 1, local or FTP.

Start the backup only if your server has the specified amount of free disk space (in megabytes) *
why MB?
why is the input field so small?
why only 5 digits?we need GB!!! or?
42 votesFrom the comments it became clear that the reason for this feature request was that only a limited number of digits could be entered into the input field. This however has long been resolved. Technically it should be quite easy to enter MB instead of GB, too. Changing the field to GB will actually decrease flexibility, because the granularity decreases. For that reason we are closing this feature request.
