Package Plesk Backup from the Command Line

If you are unable to package plesk backup from plesk panel then I suggest you manually package the backup from the
command line using "%plesk_bin%\pmm-ras.exe". That is the utility that Plesk
uses internally to package backups for download. Below is the tool's usage

Once the packaged backup is created, you can transfer it to your server here
by any means (FTP, RDP, etc.) and then either upload it to the Plesk interface
or manually extract it to the Plesk backup directory.
