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 someone picks daily backups from 2 days, but also wants a 1 monthly backup, the script makes daily backups and deletes every backup older than 2 days except 1 monthly backup. This way it doesn't make double work - backup for daily backups and backup for monthly backups.

I'm glad to inform you that the request is completed and available since Plesk Obsidian 18.0.55
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.

This feature seems highly awaited by many users. Indeed, in an era of ransomware and potential incidents, it is paramount to have replicated and encrypted backups in an easy manner.
I totally support this feature.

how many votes and months need to pass before something being highly asked for gets done.

This feature would be definitely useful !
Any custom workarounds would be avoided (like writing your own scripts to run from crontab) and would be manageable from same single interface.
I fully support for all three scenarios -

Hope this will come soon. It‘s planned since 3 years? Why does it take so long? It‘s such an important thing to have…

I had a failure in the backup, now I have to restore some of the data that was lost. What is the best way to do this? Can I use RAID Recovery https://www.diskinternals.com/raid-recovery/ or similar software?

These tips were very useful to me, after I had to set up a backup, after a long time restoring files.

So annoying you have to build custom bicycles for so simple things!
Can you just add the possibility to have multiple backup schedules and some flexibility for retention policies?
Is it really so difficult? -

An more frequent backup option for database & mail should be nice.

Hi there. I hace also 4 vps with Plesk. And I have the package purchased to make backups. But still need to make backups to my Gdrive and to my local box here at the office (FTP Server). When will it be possible to make multiple backup rules for VPS or for each domain? So i can have one domain backed up in diferent locations
See that this is planned for quite some time now but still NO news. Hoping with the 2021 license increase price you can hire more manpower to make this happen.
Am I mistaken ? :-/
Cheers,

Please add this urgently, I have paid for scheduled cloud backup extension but cannot use it due to limitation of plesk backup schedule.
