Synchronize Plesk Servers (Failover)
Keep two (or more) Plesk servers in sync for a failover scenario.
Migration Manager only allows manual "sync"

We hear you and see a clear demand for this feature.
I want to say that implementing these features requires a lot of investment, and in 2021 Plesk team keeps focusing on the delivery of other improvements (sad, but true).
We will back to the re-evaluation of these features at the beginning of the next year.
Please continue to share your use cases and requirements, and it would really helpful if you point to existing solutions that we can review and check before implementation.
Your feedback is important to us. Thank you, everyone.

If Plesk has his own failover Sync - we will use plesk instead of other Hosting Solutions.
Please add this functionality

Need failover scenario in Plesk !!

This would perhaps also be good in a load balancer situation.

A lot of this can be done with the command line tools, such as "migrate", I believe. (Haven't done this for real myself but I don't see why it wouldn't work.)

Yes, an automatic scheduler for migration Manager would be very handy. Right now I operate a fall back shadow VPS for my main VPS. It has the same content and same Plesk config, although the hardware specs are budget type. But it works fine, just a bit slower. In case of severe problems of my main VPS I can switch DNS for all sites on it, and within short time all sites run from my shadow VPS.
A month ago this scenario actually happened to me, when my VPS had problems, and totally crashed when I tried to fix them. I quickly switched DNS to the shadow VPS, and my clients never noticed a thing. Then I just rebuild the main VPS and at night I used Migration Manager to put all Plesk content from my shadow VPS back to the main one.
An automatic scheduler would be a great feature!

Yes, we have some thoughts in this regards, but frankly it is not our top priority yet.

as I understand, Plesk Automation supports distributed roles (i.e db server, web server etc.) but no synchronization between servers. What I am looking for is an automated sync that I can easily switch DNS entries to change to my backup system without loosing too much changes, emails...

this can be done using there virtual product and there storage engine

agree with this : working like a rsync for selectable part of the server to simplify, all this triggable in a cron job (yes, it can be done with a Rsync, but this can be great to simplify all).

An automation or scheduling Plesk Migration Manager jobs might do it for me.

It would be fine, if at least all Plesk content could be synced.

Hannu Virta commented
This could be great feature

Kristian Marcroft commented
Are you just thinking of Plesk itself or all of the server content?

Perhaps I should call it "Scheduler for Migration Manager"
At the moment, I am synchronizing a 2nd Server daily in a manual MM operation and it would be a great feature, if I could schedule those daily migrations. A one direction synchronization should be sufficiant.
