Enable additional Schedule Backup with or without Full Backup
Enable additional Schedule Backup and provide an option to disable the obligation to make a Full Backup (letting user the option to create additional Incremental Backups, without messing things like repeated Full Backups). This already happends if the Admin and Client both setup Backups, it create multiple Full Backups which is not necessary since Admin Backups are create in behalf user.

Avoiding an additional full backup of a subscription when there is a full backup of the server cannot be considered reasonable for various technical and access permission reasons. It would bring about a large number of disadvantages for users, e.g. very long backup and restore times. It can also not be done for security reasons, because an administrator can and will have other security settings in place for the server backup that should not be diminished by subscription users. For the other aspects mentioned, please see the Uservoice references shown in prevous status updates. Also, regarding the very low number of votes on this feature request and that Plesk is continously improving backup functionality including more versatile options as described in previous status updates, we must decline this request.

Thank you Admin, for your attention.
1 - The requested feature, with more votes, is ideal and i voted for it too. My suggestion was to implement simple options to attend my case before this complex new feature.
2 - I tried what you said, but this creates an additional full backup, which consume more space. Since i'm syncing the backup path with a remote storage, this additional backup is a problem too. In my case, our company had several divisions and i have an user for each one. Many of then just need one backup per day, which is covered by backup at Admin level. Just 2 accounts need more specific extra backup twice or more per day. Today i cannot create an additional backup from Admin side, and if i create another backup directly on the user account it do not consider the Admin "full backup" and creates another one (unnecessary for me).
