Certainly. Your backup is completely self-managed, and you have control over the scripts and programs you run on your dedicated server. To automatically back up your data, you can create a scheduled task in Windows or a cronjob in Linux.
You can also use the Parallels Plesk Panel control panel to schedule your backups. For more information about the backup/restore utilities in Parallels Plesk Panel, see the Backing Up and Restoring Domains section of the Plesk 7.5 Reloaded documentation, or the Plesk Backup-Restore guide.
