**2.** Go to **Websites & Domains** > Click on the **Pull icon** >> Choose **Backup & Restore**.

**3.** Click on **Remote Storage Settings**.

**4**. Click on **FTP(S)**.

**5. Fill in the following details:**

**- **Make sure that **Use FTP(S) storage** is marked as enabled.

- **FTP server hostname or IP:** Enter your FTP domain name or IP address.

- **Directory for backup files storage:** Enter the path where your backup file will be stored, such as /backup.

- **FTP Username:** Enter your FTP username.

- **FTP Password:** Enter your FTP Password.

**- Use passive mode: **We recommend that you either enable it or leave it as it is.

- **Use FTPS:** You can checkmark it if your FTP server supports a TLS/Encryption.

**6.** Click **Apply**.

If it displays a success message, it means you have successfully configured an FTP(S) backup in your Plesk. You can now take a backup to the remote backup server.
