Question Plesk remote (encrypted) backup option

[sialeh]

Server operating system version

Debian 12

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.66

I want to store backups externally but from my understanding I can only host them on Google, Acronis and so on.
Is it sufficant to just use a backup password if I want to place it on a second server (via FTP) or Drive (e. g. if they get compromised, the backup isnt of any use).
Or is there any ways to store the backup on a encrypted drive such as MEGA, ProtonDrive etc. From my understanding Google/OneDrive are not encrypted and anyone with Google´s permission can enter it (lets say the government as an example, just so I specify what Im looking for, my keys only, my access only)


I dont really get the [...enable backup encryption on the cloud storage side.] part.

The integration with mentioned storages are yet to be implemented, you could vote for it here:

Support for MEGA backup

In general, Plesk's password-protected backups are sufficient if the password is very strong and makes it impossible for an attacker to reveal backup data if the security of your external backup storage is compromised:
