Limit amount of backups per customer
Hey guys,
I am sure that I speak for hundreds of users when I say that having a limit on backups per customers and or subscriptions should be an important and available option. The option to also limit backups based on the customers subscription storage size will be even better. Otherwise, customers who overuse the backup option will dramatically increase storage space on the server without realization of the administrator. It wouldn't be ideal for an administrator to enter the dumps folder to delete random customer backups. Really hope you guys can resolve this and add this feature as soon…

mail after successful backup
Currently you get after completing a backup, only one mail, if errors occur. For me it would be helpful to have the option to receive an e-mail even when successful backup.

Backup single account
It would be great to have a single interface to manage backups of individual accounts (single-domain or single user).
I would like to manage a single server backup ftp and let me choose which accounts to backup.Obviously the backup file must be "single" for each account and not a single file for the entire server. If you want to make the restore of a single account, I have to use a single backup file.
Currently I have a script that through bash (or cygwin for windows) backs up the single account by bees and upload via ftp on external…

R1Soft server backup manager
R1 Soft SBM is a stable and effective way of backing up the full server, and per user / per domain accounts. It is long overdue for support in PLESK, in the same way (and for the same reasons) that other major control panels already implement it.

Add XML API operations to manage Backup Password and Scheduled Backup
Some useful functionalities of Backup in Web UI are not available in the XML API. Like configuring Password or Scheduled Backup. Those operations are at server level.
I think it would be useful to add the 4 following operations :
backup-manager / set-secure-backup-settings
backup-manager / get-secure-backup-settingsWith attributes like :
- use-password-protection : boolean
- password : stringbackup-manager / set-schedule-settings
backup-manager / get-schedule-settingsWith attributes like :
- enable : boolean
- period : 86400 | 604800 |2592000
- hour : integer from 0 to 23
- minute : 0 | 15 | 30 |45
- use-incremental : boolean…22 votesThank you for your input! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

Return backup file name features to 12.5
I know that the backup feature was rewritten in 12.5, but it is very difficult to easily identify various server and individual site backups on a remote FTP drive now that all you see displayed in the UI is the date / time. The backup features of 12.0 that included adding a prefix to the file name and also being able to actually see the file name is sorely missed.

FTP - Auto-Create Folder
When it comesto FTP Backup one can configure external FTP space and det a folder to be used.
If that folder does not exist Plesk errors out this fact and the normal user is somehow lost.
It would be a nice feature to have a checkbox to be checked that says "create folder structure if not existing".

Extended Backup Settings
Right now Plesk backup system is very limited to be honest, it's missing some key features, one thing i would like is to be able to controle backups way more then now, and have multiple locations to backup to.
1) Abillity to do multiple backups pr. day, option to controle what is backup at what time points, ex database backup at 6:00 12:00 18:00 and full backup 00:00.
2) Abillity to have multiple backup locations, with our barebone setup we have multiple backup locations, 2xFTP and S3 backup, Plesk is missing the option for multiple backup locations.

Set day for full backup on incremental backup.
Requesting the ability to set a day of a week, or day of the month that the full backup will be ran if using incremental backup.
reason for request:
for our setup, we have 15 plesk servers running all of one SAN. we find that on the day of the week the full backup is running, the IO / load on the SAN is much higher. it would be nice to be able to space out those servers by selecting days the full backups are preformed.15 votesThank you for your input!
