Are there any plans for backup encryption? (With Tar Password)
 
Do you need this for the backups produced by your users? We have this encryption available in Total Backup, but as far as I noticed less than 2% of users use it. There might be several reasons why they do not use it:

- they do not care about the security
- they are afraid to lose the key and not able to restore
- they know that there is a performance penalty on the backup process :)

I'd say that they don't know about it and they're not willing to pay for it.

Most Plesk users are just single VPS or Dedicated Server users, I doubt they're willing to pay extra just to get some extra backup features.
 
Ive never once had a client ask for such a feature and we have tens of thousands of them.
