better backup priority settings to include nice and ionice
Currently it seems the backup priority only takes CPU into account and not I/O
I would prefer the backup low priority settings to be changed into specific values. For example
CPU PRIORITY -> Select Box with options 1-19
IO Class -> Select Box with options 1-3
IO Priority-> Select Box with options 1-71 means realtime and the higher the number the less important is the task.
Then this can be converted into custom commands depending on the user needs like:
nice -n{CPU PRIORITY} ionice -c{I/O CLASS} -n{I/O Priority} <backup task command>
For example one could set like this
nice…

Please let us know your thoughts and ideas on further improvements on this new feature.

Support incremental backup for mail content
Nowadays, many users are using IMAP, maybe because is the default setting in many popular email clients (Mozilla Thunderbird, and I remember Mail on Windows 8.1 didn't support POP3 at all).
Mail content usually grow but previously stored messages doesn't change often. In Maildir format, used by Plesk, qmail and Postfix, when an user got new mails, new files with unique name are added on disk, and only some files are changed (basically, only courier-imap and dovecot caches and indexes, perhaps easy to rebuild from scratch).
So, please, support incremental backup for mail content too
69 votesThis feature was implemented a very long time ago, but we missed updating the feature request entry accordingly. Please excuse the delay. The reason that it was missed was probably that back then a huge number of users were still using the mbox mail storage format. There it was not possible to get a delta of mails.
In Plesk Obsidian an incremental backup includes mail data changed since the time of the last backup (full and incremental).

backup local and remote at once
I've seen many options for backups, but it would be a great addition if we could use the backup schedule to make a backup local AND somewhere remote.
Now i can schedule backups either only local or only remote and since i cannot make multiple schedules for remote backups and local backups i have to make local backups with the scheduler and do things by hand to get another backup in my personal FTP storage.
I prefer to have backups local, for quick restore availability and remote for when sh*t hits the fan.
So, i'd like to see an option…

Multiple backup rules or more options
At this moment, you can set only 1 rule to make backups (daily, weekly, or monthly). My idea is to make multiple backup rules (ex. which daily backups should be deleted) or simply make more backup options.
Ex:
I want to make daily backup and delete every older than 2 days, except one day of the week and one day of the month.ex interface:
Make [daily/weekly/monthly] backup and keep only:
[n] daily backups (enabled only for daily backups)
[n] weekly backups (enabled for daily and weekly backups)
[n] monthly backups (enabled for daily, weekly and monthly backups)So, if…

We have finished our big pack of Backup improvements for the scheduler to establish a more flexible backup policy:
- Multiple backup schedules with different destination for each schedule at once to get a flexible and robust backup policy. User can keep, for example, hourly backups locally and weekly backups to cloud or FTP. Establishing multiple backup schedules at once is a part of a license to the Backup to Cloud Pro extension. The extension is included already to Plesk Hosting Pack.
