Clone entire server to home pc harddrive
I have the problem that a pure plesk backup is useless as I have a complexe server setup with a lot of backgroudtechnology configuration in the background. Existing tools for server cloning are really very complexe and hard to handle. A One-Click-Solution would come handy.
1 voteWe have a clear documentation about servers cloning procedure https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/deployment-guide/plesk-installation-and-upgrade-on-multiple-servers/deploying-plesk-servers-by-cloning.76514/ and have no plans for one-click solution. Also you can use third-party solutions like Acronis for cloning whole hard drive.

Adding feasibility of downloading backup files via download management applications
Unfortunately, it's not possible to download backup files via applications such as internet download manager now, and this can be the reason of some problems for users (Failing downloads and repeating them) and hosts (ٌWasting bandwidth and other resources of servers).

Improvements to Backup Manager
I (and other users, I believe) would like to see the following improvements to the Backup Manager:
- "IAM User Access Key Secret" is not saved when accessing the Remote Storage Settings screen. The secret should be saved, just as the ID is.
- Automatic creation of path in remote storage.
- Backup Manager should only display backups from that subscription/domain/user if Backup Manager is set to save all backups to the same folder (see https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006529173-Plesk-Backup-Manager-shows-backups-from-different-subscriptions)
- A full server backup on a remote storage is impossible to do if the server has less than 50% available disk space.…1 voteThank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, this request contains several different suggestions, and it’s not technically possible to properly handle them inside one request. Please consider creating separate feature requests for each of the items with all retails about desired usage scenario, expected benefits, etc.

To match the expiration date with current date
Hi there
Today is 20 November and the expiration day is 22 November. But already all tasks include back up are suspended. I suggest managers to match these days and let users use all features till the last second.
Best Regards.

Why not adding possibility to backup entire harddrive?
With plesk I can easily backup single domains. Thats really good but not really helpful as I need to backup entire server. I made a lot of custom changings directly on ssh. Why is there no function in plesk to backup the entire hard drive?
1 voteFirst – you can backup whole Plesk server (not only one domain) as administrator.
Second – you can’t backup hard drive where Plesk and many other processes are running. Backup will be inconsistent. Moreover, physical access to hard drive is required.
So, backup of hard drive is Linux administrator’s task but not Plesk administrator.

Plesk should recognize the failure of backup at FTP Storage as an emailable error.
In Scheduled Backup settings, you can tick; "if errors occur during the execution of this backup tasks send a notification email to...". However, if the backup is set up to go to FTP Storage and the FTP site can't be reached, the backup is done to the Server Storage and no error email is sent. This is a problem because if a few days of backups intended for FTP Storage fail and go to Server Storage, contracted server space could be exceeded causing Plesk to suspend / disable the site.
Plesk should complete the backup to the Server Storage, but…
