Hello,

Correct me if I'm wrong but does Plesk only backup Plesk settings/config?
|
- Plesk backup includes all data files, MySQL databases etc. If plesk power pack is enabled on server then it will also include SQL databases. If power pack is not enabled then SQL database can be backup from server through management studio express.

E.g. I use 3 apps that I installed independently of Plesk, assume these would have to be re-installed/configured manually in the event of an operating system re-install?
|
- In case of third party applications you will have to reinstall them as well as reconfigure them as far as site restore is concern from the backup.

Also, does Plesk backup any changes I make to IIS etc?
|
Plesk does not backup any customized IIS settings, they too will have to be reconfigured in IIS.

Otherwise, assume I need to find a solution that can take a 'snapshot' of my VM? (although I think these might only run from the 'master' operating system, not my VM?).

You can find out any third party application which will take complete backup of your VPS.
We can take the snapshot of your VPS and restore it when requires. You can ask us to take the snapshot once in a week, as per your convenience.
