Thank you. That's disappointing because the work required on Plesk's side would be minimal, all the heavy lifting re. encryption/decryption would be done on the side of the S3 server. And the benefit would be great.
Reviving this old thread since I am looking for the same thing. S3 storage offers this:

But it requires the S3 client (like Plesk backup) to maintain the encryption key and use it for any access. Is...
I can't tell you how long I've been looking for a solution for this issue. This has been immensely helpful, Peter! I seem to have fixed several of our "broken" domains already using this procedure, at least the issue of a new certificate worked without manually setting the _acme_challenge DNS...
In my storage space for Plesk local backups I have room for two full backups plus two months worth of incremental backups. Accordingly, I have set my backup settings and the corresponding setting in the daily backup task to the following:
Maximum number of full backup files to store (including...
What I meant to say is it works this way when entered directly in the webinterface's Additional configuration directives section, no need to change config files.
Just in case somebody reads this: Yes, I unintentionally backed up the backup directory with every incremental backup. So it was a user error and this may be closed.
When filling out the report it dawned on me that it may have been my own fault. When you use the local FTP server you can only use a data directory in user space. Which, at the next backup, is backed up, too. So I have to exclude this directory from my backups. Will test this now and report back.
For reasons having to do with another issue, in order to split my backup into manageable pieces I have to use "external" backup storage but I am in fact using a local FTP account for this, so it ends up on the local storage space. In principle, it works fine the first time when it generates a...
No feelings hurt! Sorry if I was being too harsh before and thank you for taking the time to answer. :)
I guess we have a difference in opinion. Under Linux/Unix, "local" folders cannot be assumed to always be truly local mass storage and may have different properties depending on what it is...
Oh, please ....

Exposing the --split option in the GUI would cost you NOTHING and would help customers such as myself. You could even block it by default but add an...
which we don't have and is more expensive than the whole server hosting plan. That's why I said "or expensive". This is in line with the "selective reading" I have come to expect from Plesk staff, though.
