I have merged the request by creoline into this existing one. Actually, adding a parameter like --single-transaction requires careful consideration of many side effects that this can have. It is explained well in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41683158/mysqldump-single-transaction-option and comments. But like IG I also think it is a valid request.

Backup retention period options
It'll be useful to have the ability to configure the retention period of the backup. Right now it's only possible to set the "Maximum number of full backup files to store (including both scheduled and manual backups)".
While it'll be useful to set something like "Keep backup for "x" weeks", to have more flexibility, when it gets to the backup storage.

Add ability to obtain information about Backup Settings via CLI.
Please, add a feature to be able to check Backup manager settings (including Scheduled backup settings), server-wide and for the particular domain via CLI. It would be very convenient for server administration to get information about backup settings in one place: for example, if there are multiple domains with different settings.

don't write in the backup repository during plesk updates
I mounted a remote server via sshfs and set it as the plesk backup repository, so I can backup my domains through sftp (with a keyfile).
But now, whenever I try to upgrade my plesk installation, plesk writes files to my backup repository (i.e. mysql backup before a mysql upgrade) and immediately tries to change the owner of the file, which fails because chown it is not supported on mounted directories.
The best solution would be to provide the option to set a different path for automated backups.

Manual Lock for Preservation of Specific Backups in Plesk Backup Manager
Introduce a functionality in Plesk Backup Manager that allows users to manually 'lock' specific backups, preventing their automatic deletion during the backup rotation process. This feature would enable administrators to preserve critical backups indefinitely, without the need to move files externally or re-upload them, thereby ensuring essential backups remain accessible and protected within the Plesk ecosystem.

exclude large files from backup
Some customers store large videos for their website,
some of them just zip an entire website for manual backup or download, and keep it in the server storage.
some have wordpress backup plugins that will generate >500Mb files with weird extension.
others just can't understand that a PNG file >50Mb is not good for your website.for the backup/restore functionality,
I Suggest adding the ability to exclude large files.
or even combine large files for specific extension (allow to backup any size of MPG, but exclude ZIP files >20Mb)currently, it is possible to exclude by extensions, but PNG and…

Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.
A workaround for some cases could be to place large files in separate directories and then to exclude these directories from the backup. Nevertheless we get the idea of this request to filter them from all directories by size.,

Verify backups using checksum instead of partial file download
FTP backups are verified using the download of part of the file, however some hosts do not support partial file download. It would be good to allow verification using some other method such as fle checksum.
