Question
Is it possible to create scheduled backup tasks via CLI/API?
Answer
Such functionality is yet to be implemented in Plesk.
If you would like to see these features in Plesk, please vote for them on Plesk UserVoice:
- Add CLI operations to create/manage Scheduled Backup
- Add XML API operations to manage Backup Password and Scheduled Backup
As a workaround, a cron task with the "pleskbackup" utility can be used to schedule backups. For example:
# echo '/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup server --output-file=ftp://username:password@example.com/myfolder' > /etc/cron.weekly/99plesk-backup && chmod +x /etc/cron.weekly/99plesk-backup

Is it possible to send backups to S3 via CLI?
Hello,
Yes, you can configure to back a server up to an FTP storage using the "ftp-login" option of 'pleskbackup' CLI utility. You can read more about that in our documentation:
https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/cli-linux/using-command-line-utilities/pleskbackup-backing-up-content-and-configuration.74260/
The command will look like
\# plesk bin pleskbackup server --ftp-login=ftpuser1
You can also find the information on how to configure Amazon S3 to connect via FTP protocol on stackoverflow:
