Confirm bug
 
The bug is confirmed and the Plesk developers are working on a solution for this issue.
For now, as a workaround, you may consider creating backups without excluded files.

another bug in 18.0.47, unable to login in RoundCube, cause $config['auto_create_user'] = false; was added in conf and must be true.

Strange that is only in two servers for me, not for others, at least it came with 18.0.47.

Please create a new bug report if you think this is a bug.
 
18.0.47 Update 1 fixed the issue with the excluded files:
Creation of a domain backup no longer fails when the “Exclude log files” or “Exclude specific files from the backup” options are enabled. (PPPM-13733)

Michael Gabriel if this update doesn't fix your issue, please contact Plesk Support:

 
Fixed in 18.0.47 #1
Creation of a domain backup no longer fails when the “Exclude log files” or “Exclude specific files from the backup” options are enabled. (PPPM-13733)
 
New minor update (#2) published that should finally fix the backup issue:
Creation of a remote backup with the enabled “Create a multivolume backup, volume size (MB)” option no longer results in the “Error: The backup process failed: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not int” error. (PPPM-13739)
