Can someone answer a couple questions I have about Plesk 5?

Does Plesk, by default, include Mail & FTP traffic in the max. bandwidth number?
If no, can you configure Plesk to do so?
Can I create new clients/domains remotely (https://server/newdomain.php?etc...)
Non-PSA question - whats the best way to make a disaster recovery backup on a BSD box running Plesk?

1. No they dont, just what they gather off of access logs.

2. No easily, you can use something like hotsanic to calculate per IP if you are using IP based hosting for each domain name

3. Yes https://www.domain.com:8443 just login (not sure if i answered that right)

4. I use redhat so i am of no help, but plesk has backup scripts you can use.

#3 - For instance, our ordering/billing resides on another server, can I have them sign up there and then in the background, call "https://pleskserver:8443/createclient.php?username=user123&pass=pass321" from my billing server, as to create the client and/or domains in real time?

Plesk have some account creation scripts which you can download @ ftp://ftp.plesk.com/freebsd/utilities/Creation_Utilities/
