Backup is sooo important, please bring some improvements. i.e. Continuous Data Protection (CDP) Features

Agreed with Martin's commented.

DirectAdmin as its price cheaper than any CP can do this. But Plesk not?

I would also recommend to have a option to Backup the FTP AND the DB in the same .zip or at once.

It should be possible to set a pattern for the Name.
For me it would be:

"[Name of Subscription] [Date].zip"

Like mentioned in the OP a intervall in which the subscription gets Backuped would be nice.

or create 2 backups on 2 external FTPs

Yes good idea.
I add
possibility to create differents tasks.
for example I backup the full config with datas on a FTP server
and only the config on a google drive
thanks

Hello,
You really should see it urgently. In cPanel we have for example JetBackup that for less than 5 dollars offers us a complete interface with several integrations. Currently there is only the Plesk backup system that is currently insufficient.

Right now Plesk backup system is very limited to be honest, it's missing some key features, one thing i would like is to be able to controle backups way more then now, and have multiple locations to backup to.

1) Abillity to do multiple backups pr. day, option to controle what is backup at what time points, ex database backup at 6:00 12:00 18:00 and full backup 00:00.

2) Abillity to have multiple backup locations, with our barebone setup we have multiple backup locations, 2xFTP and S3 backup, Plesk is missing the option for multiple backup locations.

Please bring Acronis backup module for Plesk to the masses!

There is an issue on actual Backup manager. when it reach the qtd, Bkp Manager erase all files and start again. This is not productive. It must erase only the oldest and maintain the others, and act like a ruining machine.

Any update?

When can we expect an improvement?
The current backup manager is really not sufficent. Today I have a rule for a weekly full backup and daily incemental backups inbetween. I'm missing options to configure which backups should be deleted or stored for a longer time.
In my case I want to keep only the weekly backups and delete all increments after 4 weeks. Furthermore after 6 month I only want to store a monthely backup. Today i have to delete all the old backups manually, whichis really annoying.

And additionaly it would be nice to have the possibillity to configure a backup task for only the databases and this should be configurable to run more than once per day.

Also all backup will be good to be separated, every domain to have own zip/tar archive filex+db
not one big archive

I have the same need.

The quickest implementation is to 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.

There is a schedule when the reaction is carried out?

Please include my idea too: https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/14796468-re-upload-incremental-backup-if-ftp-upload-fails

Here are two suggestions for the Backup Manager:

1.) In my opinion, it would be extremely useful if you could set up several backup tasks for each web space.

2.) It would also be helpful to be able to perform more than one daily backup for each web space.

With these changes, it would be possible individual area (mailboxes, database, etc.) differ frequently back up. A user can control and targeted which areas are to be backed up as often.
For example, the mailboxes from a "mail server" must often be backed. The FTP data and the databases from these "mail server" are very static and need less often to be backed up.

# Its missing multiple backup instances

- Possible to create many backup instances as need (schedule instances)
eg, one to backup emails daily, other to backup data weekly in separate bkp files.

- Possible to exclude directories from backup, like "Private folder"

Hey, you know something of how to extend this option in Plesk?
Of I upgraded and now suddenly I can only back up two days!
Thank you.

Creating multiple backup job plans. For example, to external FTP, SMB, or local store.

Allow specifying multiple schedules per day. In many cases, a daily backup, every 24 hours, is not enough.

Allow specifying multiple times for daily backup or insert at least the "Twice a day" option
