Exclude virtualmin-backup from scheduled backups

Howdy,

I'm unfortunately not entirely certain off the top of my head -- however, it's safe to test that out.

You can see an example syntax by clicking the help text for "Files to exclude from each domain".

Try that out, and make sure it doesn't include the files/dirs that you're trying to exclude.

If you're concerned about modifying your existing Scheduled Backups, you could always perform a one-off backup of an existing domain, and use that as a way to test before making any changes to your scheduled backups.

And what I forgot to add to the above, is that if it gives you a hard time, let us know and we'll try and sort it out :-)

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:

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

Case II: Multiple Directories Exclude multiple directories from backups:

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

Case III: Exclude file extensions

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

Case IV: All above cases at once

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.
