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.

Hourly backups too, for expample, for my online store, posibility have a backup every 4 hour or maybe every hour too.

With each of these schedules it would be ideal to be able to select either server repository or personal repository such that an administrator could select daily backups to be stored locally and weekly or monthly backups to be stored in a personal repository.

The only thing cpanel does better than plesk is the backup wizzArd where with 2 clicks you can download a whole site or database. Can you add that the the above

Yes, more backup scheduling and destination flexibility.

I like the idea of multiple backup rules. Perhaps we can include the location of where each backup goes too, for example "local", "cloud service 1', "cloud service 2". You can never have enough backups in different places.

Having full daily backups is fine but consumes too much space; would love to be able to schedule a full backup once a month plus incremental backups every monday, wednesday and friday or tuesday, thursday and saturdays. Your backups have saved my business twice; its a mandatory feature. Regards

Google just annouced 100 GB backup space for 1.99 $/month
now if only PLESK could work with google drive...it would be perfect for backup -

One more thing - backup range ("backup content").
This option should be available for each rule separately.So, for example, I should be able to make:
- 1 full monthly backup (configuration, content, e-mails)
- 1 partial weekly backup (configuration, content excluding e-mails)I know this might be a little complicated, but seriously - IMO, people really need this.
