Exclude domains from backup in UI
Add an option to exclude domains / clients / resellers from a backup to the Plesk user interface.
Currently, it is possible only via command line:
http://docs.plesk.com/en-US/12.5/advanced-administration-guide-linux/backing-up-restoring-and-migrating-data/backing-up-data/specifying-data-for-backing-up.68839/

Thank you for your input! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.
Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

This is important, as some domain's size is big and some domains are doing their own backups and so on, so we can free space on backup size and resources to create backups.

I have a 4TB drive with my Plesk install and trying to back up that if full would be next to impossible. As individual domains can already be backed up it makes no sense for a server backup not to have the facility to exclude individual domains otherwise you're basically saying, 'Plesk - for small drives only!'.

Definitely needed for basic efficiency running full server backups. It would add a lot of much needed flexibility and really is surprising that it isn't already there.

I'd rather prefer to have the UI to select what to backup, than what to exclude.

This can be a very useful feature, because some users end to overdraw their webspace quota sharply, resulting in many additional GB to be stored in backups, too. In such cases it would be very good to be able to exclude such user accounts from the backup until the users reduce their web space usage to what's been agreed on in their webspace contract.

I strongly second this feature request.
I have one domain with a lot of media files and only because of this domain my weekly server wide backup is gigantic
