Is it possible to include Docker containers in Plesk Backup Manager backups?

Question

• Is it possible to include Docker containers in Plesk Backup Manager?
• Can the full server backups done via the Backup Manager include Docker containers?

Answer

Docker containers are operating outside of the Plesk virtual hosts structure and are considered entirely separate objects, due to which they are currently not included in the Plesk Backup Manager backups.
