also, should this not be in the 'migrations' area?

this is incredibly important for security when moving between hosting companies, for instance, or even different servers in general. You would not want to expose the root password for a server to the bash history of another server. Even if you used a wrapper script to mask the execution of the command, you would still see the password with a simple 'ps' or by checking /proc/$pid while the command is running.
The migration tool should be able to connect over SSH without a password, or by specifyiing a keyfile to use. It would be useful, additionally, to pass flags directly to ssh (like -o or -i) through the tool.

this can currently be accomplished with the -c flag on pleskbackup:
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup domains-name $domain -c -v --skip-logs --output-file=/var/configbackup.$domain.tar
but, this is not an option with the migration manager yet. I would like to see this too, as it would permit me to then sync data outside of pmm without having to wait for it to package, compress, transfer, and then decompress and move the data. This can be accomplished with a separate rsync, which saves space and time.
