Define maximum number of saved backups in Service Plan
As an administrator you currently can define the maximum number of full backups to store. This maximum number applies to all backups, stored locally or remote.
This is a feature request for:a) defining a separate maximum for locally stored backups and a separate maximum for remotely stored backups. b) as well defining those maximum numbers in service plans.
The option to define the maximum number of stored backups in a service plan would allow administrators to fulfill backup needs on a per customer basis. And even sell additional backups to customers who might have a need for much longer backup retention.
Defining a separate maximum value for local and…

Ability to set a Subscription or Domain Backup Default
I'd love the ability to set a subscription such that a Scheduled Backup configuration is enabled by default? E.g. "backup all files, daily, store 1 day"?
Often times I realized after the fact that a domain backup was not turned on. The "scheduled backup list" extension is nice, but I'm looking more for a default option.

Support for MEGA backup
The MEGA software development kit is here https://mega.io/developers
2 votesThank you for your idea! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular. However, the normal procedure for integration of third-party platforms with Plesk are extensions. These should be developed by the vendors who want to integrate their product with Plesk. Many other storage platforms already have developed extensions for Plesk, so Mega could do the same using the free API toolkit: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/extensions-guide/plesk-extensions-basics/how-to-create-and-install-extensions.76094/

3 - Change the site status to Archived but keep on the site list.
4 - Allow to easily restore from the cloud backup when needed.

I have merged the request by creoline into this existing one. Actually, adding a parameter like --single-transaction requires careful consideration of many side effects that this can have. It is explained well in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41683158/mysqldump-single-transaction-option and comments. But like IG I also think it is a valid request.

Plesk backup should be part of slack as email reporting not stable for Plesk backup failure
Plesk backup should be part of slack as email reporting not stable for Plesk backup failure.
1 voteHi Pugmarks Techs,
thank you for your feature suggestion. I assume you are using the Slack extension of Plesk and your suggestion is that Plesk shall add backup manager events such as "backup completed without errors", "backup completed with some errors" and similar to the event handler list so that the Slack extension can react to them.

Backup retention period options
It'll be useful to have the ability to configure the retention period of the backup. Right now it's only possible to set the "Maximum number of full backup files to store (including both scheduled and manual backups)".
While it'll be useful to set something like "Keep backup for "x" weeks", to have more flexibility, when it gets to the backup storage.

Multiple scheduled Backups
It would be useful to have the ability to make scheduled backups in more than just one FTP server, so that you have multiple backups.
For example, with the Strasbourg fire, I lost two VPSs and the server where I had backups of them.
By having a backup on an additional server, I would have limited the damage.

Generate Backup Hash to Verify on Download
Its a good idea once a backup is generated to expose a hash of it, so if we download it to another media server we have a easy way to check if the backup transfer was successful.
