    The impact of including mailing lists in backups is minimal in time and storage space consumption. There is no benefit but saving a few milliseconds and a few bytes. Also this request did not become popular through many years. For these reasons we must decline it.

  2. Know which Plesk login has created or restored backup in Plesk

    Include in Plesk a new feature to find out which Plesk login has created or restored a backup in Plesk. This could be done recording such logs in Plesk Action Log.

  5. Possibility to remove FTP-Repo settings

  7. Preserve Backup Option

    Place an option in the backup manager to preserve or lock a backup from being overwritten. The setting to only keep a set number of backups in the system would ignore backups that are preserved or locked. Allowing you to exceed the number of backups allowed by the system. This is helpful if you benchmark a good backup at a particular time but want to go back later. Especially good for testing situations. Customers should have the ability to use this to block a particular backup from being removed from their account on their individual backups as well. Administrators would…

  8. Separate folder for backups

    Make it possible, to specify a separate path on reseller/customer basis, reasoning being that if there are physical hard drives dedicated to the customer they can not include the backups on it.

    No details were provided why the existing separation of user backups in folders is insufficient. Also Plesk does not support separate drives for different subscriptions. Such a scenario could be achieved by putting accounts on different servers, too. No further information was provided on this topic. Regarding the low number of votes on this feature we must decline it.

  9. Create the option "Maximum number of incremental backups to store" on Plesk

    Currently it is possible to limit the "Maximum number of full backups to store" which is valid for Full backups only, it would be good to have a similar option to limit the "Maximum number of incremental backups to store"

  10. Hourly backup created via command, to be saved in external Cloud storage like amazon s3 or any ftp/sftp storage and not locally.

    It would be very convinient and usefull if there is an option to save the hourly backup created via command line, to any external cloud storage like amazon s3, dropbox, google drive or FTP/SFTP storage.

  15. Give better information regarding backups created in higher level.

    When a customer in Plesk removes a subscription-level backup which is a part of full-server backup (or reseller's backup and some customer's backup in case of special rights), it is not displayed anymore in subscription's backup manager. However, it is not actually removed from the server. This confuses customers because they are not aware of what actually occupies so much disk space.

    Feature suggestion: make some note/banner in customer's backup manager to inform them that there are some backups which were created on a higher level.
    Or
    Prevent backup deletion if created at an higher level.

    Unfortunately, we have to close your request, because over the years it has not become quite popular for further implementation.

  19. Backup by dated folders

    As I have a setup for backing up to offsite storage, it would be great to have a backup folder structure that uses dated folders so when it comes to backing up using rsync,it will be easy to see which folders can be copied/deleted and move them

  20. Ability to exclude web access logs file from schedule backup setting

    The incremental backup of plesk works great except for only one thing: log file.

    I find that on high traffic site, the backup will always backup ALL log file even if this is an incremental backup. This create a very large backup file even the site hasn't been changed at all.

    The ability to exclude log from "scheduled backup" will help incremental backup run much faster and save more space.

    There's already an option for "MANUAL" server backup. But not for scheduled / customer / reseller backup. Please enable this option for them too.
