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

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.

Migration and Restore Troubleshooter
The Migration Manager has become better over the years, but there are still occasions in which restores and migrations simply fail due to error messages that do not make sense. We had similar issues with web configuration files, and thanks to the Troubleshooter Extension they could be greatly minimised.
Migration Manager could benefit from a similar extension - perhaps on both the source and destination server and correct problems.

Provide sufficient data in site backup file to re-register Joomla installed Application
With sufficient backup file (info) configuration about an installed Application (in this case, Joomla) it should be possible to "export and import" a site with a Panel installed application and have that application reappear in the Plesk server where the site is "restored". Such information is currently written to the site backup file for WordPress.
Don't necessarily need "Joomla Toolkit" ala "Wordpress Toolkit", but having sufficient configuration information about an installed application should be usable by the Plesk restore (CLI) process to restablish the previously installed application in the "new" Plesk server.

Recovery of Databases from general Plesk Backup Management
Error when restoring backups of databases using general Plesk Backup Management..
If databases have been created which do not contain any tables, the empty database will not be filled with tables when the databases are restored again, will remain empty.
The Plesk database file is selected -> opened to see the options of what you want to do with it. In my case, I want to restore a database.
There should be a question when you are already in import mode for "Databases" -> "Select database" -> "Overwrite empty databases" and "Overwrite all old databases (security question when confirming "restore",…
1 voteThank you for your suggestions Jan. We appreciate your input. However when restoring objects, such as databases, from a backup it's expected that existing objects will be overwritten by the objects from the backup. That's the nature of restoring backups.
That's why unfortunately we are unable to consider your suggestions for additional user confirmations when restoring backup. We appreciate your understanding.
As for restoring an empty database we ran some tests but were unable to reproduce the result you're describing. If you encountered any issues with restoring an empty database from a backup we suggest you contact Plesk support for an investigation of the issue.

Check backup process when backup is finished and kill or provide notification if not ended automatically
Check backup process when backup is finished and kill or provide notification if not ended automatically
1 voteIf a backup finishes and the process does not end, this should be considered a product issue, not a feature to notify the user about the issue. Let's rather fix the underlying issue.

Multiple scheduled Backups
It would be useful to have the ability to make scheduled backups in more than just one FTP server, so that you have multiple backups.
For example, with the Strasbourg fire, I lost two VPSs and the server where I had backups of them.
By having a backup on an additional server, I would have limited the damage.
1 voteWe are closing this request as there was no demand for it during the course of two years. As an alternative what we can suggest is to consider configuring an additional cloud storage (Plesk can be integrated with Amazon S3, Google Drive, DropBox, DigitalOcean Spaces, Microsoft OneDrive) or manually transferring the backup copies after completion to an additional FTP server. We would still like to thank you for your input.

Allow resellers to use remote FTP backup, but prevent them from changing it's settings
To let resellers use the ftp archive without letting them change the FTP remote settings could give Administrators more control over backups.

backup database
When creating the backup, instead of backing up the entire database, it will be better to compress the tables in the database separately.
