Backup to FTP storage behavior in Plesk 12.1

[Chris1]

I'm just wondering if the functionality for FTP backups in Plesk 12.1 has changed at all?

At the moment when you do an FTP backup, it creates the backup on the server first therefore needing free space before sending it to the FTP repository. When dealing with a server with high disk space usage, FTP backups would fail.

I thought I read something somewhere about how this was changing so that it wouldn't take up space on the server during the FTP backup process but now I can't find it.

Backing up data to the FTP repository required a local backup to be created first. Backup failed if there was not sufficient disk space for the local backup. (PPP-14445)
