If there are multiple Domains/ Resellers/ Clients, then it is difficult to specify them via command line. In that case, it is better to specify them in a file.
==========
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup –resellers-name –f resellersclient.txt –v
(resellerclietns.txt is a file which contain list for resellers names per line )
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup –clients-name –f clients.txt –v
(clients.txt file which contains list for clients name per line )
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup –domains-name –f domainsname.txt –v
(domainnames.txt file which contain list of domains name per line)
==========
