Backing up additional special files

    Hi, there’s a setting called “Include special files”, which can be found on the Files tab when creating or editing a backup job.

    Currently this setting says, “Backup wp-config.php, robots.txt, nginx.conf, .htaccess, .htpasswd, favicon.ico, and Web.config from root if it is not included in backup.”

    I would like to request that you add a couple of additional special files to this setting, please:

    * php.ini
    * .user.ini

    These files exist in the root folder of my installation of WordPress, and it would be useful if they could be included.

    Hi @duongcuong96
    As far as I can tell, there isn’t a setting there for adding individual files to the backup.

    And in any case, it would make more sense to me, for these files to be included in the “Include special files” setting, because they are also special files, just like wp-config.php, robots.txt, nginx.conf, .htaccess, and so on.

    Would you be able to include them in that setting, please?

    Thanks!

    these files should be included by default, I don’t know why in you case they are not included, please double check to make sure that you don’t include them in the job -> Files tab -> Exclude files/folders from backup section ^^

    Hi @duongcuong96,

    These files are only included by default if you are also backing up the WordPress install folder. But I am not doing that. I don’t want to back up the WordPress folder – I only want to back up the special files, in order to keep the backup size as small as possible.

    That’s the reason that you have this setting, “Include special files” – so the user can only back up those special files alone, if they need to. Otherwise, what’s the purpose of this setting? There’s no other reason to have this setting.

    Therefore, can you please add php.ini and .user.ini to the list of special files, because it’s important to include them there too – they are definitely “special” files.

    Thanks!
