Question Backup to cloud Pro: Backup of the entire server to different destinations possible?

[flex1]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

Version 18.0.54 Update #4

Hello!
On 19.09. I received the news (Multiple backup rules or more options) that Plesk has implemented the long-awaited feature to create backups to different destinations and schedules.
I think that making this extension payable is highly debatable, but that is not the topic of my post.

I purchased the plugin (Backup to Cloud Pro) so that I could back up the entire server and do so on two different servers. Previously, I backed up to remote storage via FTPS. My goal now, after purchasing the plugin, is to continue backing up the entire server to the remote storage via FTPS and additionally to another remote storage via SFTP, which is part of the "Backup to Cloud Pro" extension. But unfortunately I don't see a way to select two backup destinations for the entire server. Am I missing something?

I have configured my backup in "Tools & Settings" -> "Backup Manager". I can now add an SFTP destination through the plugin, but where do I set the scheduled backups to be saved to both my previous FTPS destination and the new SFTP destination?

Best regards

If I am not mistaken the feature to store backups to different locations is available in Plesk version 18.0.55 (or higher). If you are still running 18.0.54 upgrade to version 18.0.55 first.

So that you know, you can accomplish the same thing with the Amazon S3 extension. It allows you to back up to any vendor compatible with the S3 API, such as Backblaze B2. You don't need to purchase an extension for this; it's free.

Resolved - Connect to Backblaze B2 (S3-compatible)

Hi all, Backblaze have released an S3 compatible API. I have been using Scaleway but wish to migrate to Backblaze B2. Has anyone figured out how to get this working? I get the error: `Error: Unable to upload a file to the storage: Backblaze does not support the 'x-amz-request-payer' header...

The only drawback is that subscription users only see the backups stored via FTPS. The S3 backups are only visible to the administrator.
