Backup | Files to exclude from each domain

Hi, I would like to exclude a folder for a single domain. It is possible?

Example: domains/domain.xx/public_html/folder

I tried but gives error.

I need this because my soto all sites on Wordpress and I would like to exclude the folder of images as a single site occupies a lot of space but if I enter the path: /public_html/wp-content/uploads It will exclude all the photos of all my sites.

Thank you.

I tried different methods and this worked perfectly. Please hit "Like" if it works for you as well.

Here is a solution:

Case I: Single Directory Exclude a directory from backups:

/home/example/public_html/docs/


Then syntax in "Files to exclude from each domain" should be:

public_html/docs


Case II: Multiple Directories Exclude multiple directories from backups:

/home/example/public_html/docs/
/home/example/public_html/var/
/home/example/domains/testbackups.example.com/public_html/media/cache/


Then syntax in "Files to exclude from each domain" should be:

public_html/docs
public_html/var
public_html/media/cache


Case III: Exclude file extensions

Exclude .exe .tar .tar.gz :


Then syntax in "Files to exclude from each domain" should be:

*.exe
*.tar
*.tar.gz


Case IV: All above cases at once

public_html/docs
public_html/var
public_html/media/cache
*.exe
*.tar
*.tar.gz


Note: These exclude files/directories are applicable globally for all websites/subdomains included in the backups. If you want to exclude the files/directories for website specific then you need to create schedule different backups for each domain.
