Plesk Backup & Restore Part II
Plesk Backup & Restore
In my opinion, it makes no sense to import a backup where the software only "Only the configuration of the selected objects" means that if you click the wrong button, the database data can no longer be imported.
The databases have to be deleted manually in order to then select the correct setting "Configuration and contents of the selected objects". There is no setting to "Overwrite configuration and contents".

Please Provide Better Notification Capabilities
Plesk needs a full featured notification solution, so users can customize what notifications they want to see, from whatever service is running on Plesk. For example the Plesk backups only allow for notification if the backup fails. Why not have a notification for either situation, success or failure. This is what I am referring to when I say the notifications need to be more robust.

Add Storage Location to DB Copy Functionality
Currently the db copy functionality only allows for a default location that is where the db server is located. I would ask that you provide the ability to add a second predetermined location that is just a storage location and not associated with the db server. This allows us to keep the db server storage clean.

Add ability to Backup from the Subscriptions view
Add ability to Backup select subscriptions in subscriptions view. Basically instead of doing a full server Backup, I'd like to select a number of subscriptions via the checkbox and then click Backup to create a Backup of only those Subscriptions. This will allow me to archive a number of subscriptions so I can delete them.

Define maximum number of saved backups in Service Plan
As an administrator you currently can define the maximum number of full backups to store. This maximum number applies to all backups, stored locally or remote.
This is a feature request for:a) defining a separate maximum for locally stored backups and a separate maximum for remotely stored backups. b) as well defining those maximum numbers in service plans.
The option to define the maximum number of stored backups in a service plan would allow administrators to fulfill backup needs on a per customer basis. And even sell additional backups to customers who might have a need for much longer backup retention.
Defining a separate maximum value for local and…

Plesk backup should be part of slack as email reporting not stable for Plesk backup failure
Plesk backup should be part of slack as email reporting not stable for Plesk backup failure.
1 voteHi Pugmarks Techs,
thank you for your feature suggestion. I assume you are using the Slack extension of Plesk and your suggestion is that Plesk shall add backup manager events such as "backup completed without errors", "backup completed with some errors" and similar to the event handler list so that the Slack extension can react to them.

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.

Add a detailed status message for restoring specific domains via Backup Manager
Restoring a backup in Tools & Settings > Backup Manager always results in a generic message:
Restoration of the backup <timestamp> completed
But this message remains the same both after restoring a full server backup or just some specific domains, which can be confusing.
If only specific domains have been restored, please add a separate message listing these domains.
1 voteThis is a valid request, so we'll look into it. There is no ETA at the moment, but we would really appreciate you voting for this request so that we can accurately assess its popularity relative to other features. Thanks in advance!

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.

Limit rate of backup
Full weekly backup for all domains create a huge I/O throughput on our SAN that stress too much our infrastructure until backup ends. It would great if we can tune data through a pipe like "pv" command do.
I.e.
This is an example of backup that stress the SAN:
mysqldump -A -q --single-transaction=TRUE -u $MUSER -p$MPASS | gzip > $_fileThis instead is and example that do not stress the SAN:
mysqldump -A -q --single-transaction=TRUE -u $MUSER -p$MPASS | gzip | pv -L 512k > $_filein the last command we set the maximum rate limit of 512k. Of course…
