Exclude files in root?

  • Hi there

    I have read that this will backup all folders in the root. Is there a way to exclude folders in the root of a site?

    For instance we will have the old site still on the server so that the admin can still access archived content/site. I would lke the backup to run, but not backup the old site on the root in it’s own sub folder.

    Is this possible?

    I like the idea of the backup to dropbox.

  • I’m also looking for a solution for this.
    I have a subdomain that I don’t want backed up, so it would be good to be able to select/deselect certain folders/files.

    Found the solution…
    Go to Tools->Manage Backups->Complete Monthly and you’ll see
    Settings | Excludes | Run now | Delete
    Click the Excludes and it will load up the files/folders in the root of where your site is (may take a bit of time depending on how big your root folder is) and you’ll see further down the following e.g. Excluded(3523) Included(5670) Unreadable(1).
    Select the Included folder and see what files/folders are there and create New Exclude[s] Rule at the top.

    I had a subdomain called portfolio, so I added the rule portfolio/ which included everything in that folder.

    Hope this helps.
