Encrypt backups before upload (for example to GDrive)
There is no option to encrypt backups. I do not trust Google or any other cloud service. Yet I could use the (otherwise completely useless) storage to put my backups there.
So please include a proper and secure encryption. Thanks!
Edit:
It could be as easy as running gpg as a last step before uploading:Encrypting (simple tar example):
tar -czf - [FOLDERS] | gpg -c --batch --passphrase [PASSWORD] -o backup.tgz.gpgDecrypting:
gpg -d --batch --passphrase [PASSWORD] backup.tgz.gpg | tar -xzf -4 votesThank you for your input! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular. Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

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.

Enable additional Schedule Backup with or without Full Backup
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.

Possibility to change Plesk backup file names
It would be great if backup names included the Server Name in the backup file name, so instead of the file name being: backup21092403142109300314.tar it is identifiable as: backupexampleserver21092403142109300314.tar.
For ie: an INI variable that can be set or some other option to change this behaviour
The reason for this change is that long term storage and search tools only allow file archival retrieval by searching for a file name part or a date range. So restoring a backup for a specific server becomes very challenging when the backup files for all the servers…

Change password type in Backup Settings via CLI

Add Incremental backups support for Presence Builder
Currently, Presence Builder attachments (for example, images that have been added via Slider module to a domain) ends up in every incremental Plesk backup. Such attachments should not be in incremental backups as they are not being changed, modified, etc before the incremental backup starts.
I suggest adding such a feature for incremental backups support for such Presence Builder files.3 votesThank you for your input. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it is popular. Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.
