  1. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. 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.

    Could you please elaborate what you mean here:
    a. Better Spanish language in Plesk product?
    b. Ability to have response in Spanish from Parallels support?
    c. Ability to file Spanish proposals at plesk.uservoice.com?

    UPD: Unfortunately we have to decline this suggestion because we can only read and respond in English and we do not plan to officially support feature suggestions in Spanish at plesk.uservoice.com.

  12. 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",…

    Thank 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.

  14. 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.

  19. Google Drive for backups - Allow full access to drive even to delete? Wow. Why are we not able to grant a specific folder?

    Google Drive for backups - Allow full access to drive that includes deleting function throughout entire? Wow. What kind of madness is in terms of security? Why is there not a function to grant a specific folder that would restrict full access only to that folder?
