Backup and Restore function not working as expected?

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.65 Update #2
So I started a new server and I'm studying new tools. I have never used WP Toolkit before, but I said to myself, let's see what Plesk has done. I'm generally a supporter of the "manual" process, but as I said, it's a new server, so I told myself to try some things.

Problem with Backup and Restore. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I am installing a new Wordpress instance. Wordpress works flawlessly, the Plesk panel detects the instance properly.

I have the following options in the Wordpress tab: Copy data, Clone, Backup and Restore, check Wordpress integrity and so on.

I go to Backup and Restore. I make a backup. The backup was properly made. Now I go to the Wordpress site itself. For the opportunity to test and describe my query, I will do the following. I am adding four random plugins. Note: 4 plugins were added AFTER the successfully completed backup. I'm playing around with Wordpress settings and I'm not satisfied, let's just say. I say to myself, ok, now let's go to Restore to return to the position before I installed these 4 plugins. In Plesk, I go to the same Backup and Restore. I mark that backup and do Restore. Plesk tells me that everything went successfully.

I log in to Wordpress, but those 4 plugins are still there??? Plesk did not do a full restoration but added files to the existing installation? Although the screenshot suggested that all files created after the backup will be removed, the files were not removed? Screenshot.

Now this already seems to me that there is some kind of option that I have overlooked or is this a serious bug?
