This would be a great feature to add to the Plesk Backup: a button next to failed uploads to re-attempt the upload.I am not entirely sure as last time I tried must be 4 or 5 years ago. What you definitely need to do is to export the backup structure into a single file. This can then either be downloaded or uploaded to ftp. The file can be exported to ftp directly.
I think this should work:
1) Logon to your Linux console.
2) Find the XML file of the backup.
# grep dump-specification /var/log/plesk/PMM/<backup log directory of your backup>/*
yields something similar to
3) Export the local backup to ftpCode:... backup.log:[2023-02-10 07:23:58.712| 6573] INFO: pmm-ras started : /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/pmm-ras --delete-dump --session-path=/usr/local/psa/PMM/sessions/2023-02-09-231415.812 --dump-specification=backup_info_2302092315.xml ...

If others know more, feel welcome to add corrections.

@J.WickAlso, I'll add my other complaint that Plesk Backup misses files not declared in the web folder. For example, technologies like Mautic, or SuiteCRM that use 'pub' or 'docroot' folder in the main install folder such as
domain.com/subdomains/mautic/docroot
Everything in the mautic folder is not backed up, only the docroot folder which is set in the subdomain properties.
You can't fully restore this subdomain because of this.
I may have to move to Acronis backup to solve this.
It's any folder under the Document Root folder set in Plesk in Host Settings@J.Wick
Can you provide an abbreviated sample of the directory structure?
In essence, it is better to foscus on what is not backed up - this helps identifying the cause thereof.
Nevertheless, I am not sure whether this is a bug : it can be very well related to the installation setup (or even default backup policy native to Plesk).
For instance, could you be so kind as to check whether an installation in
a) domain.com/subdomains/test/mautic, with test.domain.com being the (sub-)domain,
b) newdomain.com/subdomains/mautic/site, with mautic.newdomain.com being the (sub-)domain and site being the new installation directory,
is associated with the same (backup) problems?
Kind regards....
