Question about Edit Backup Exclusions syntax

Konstantinus · July 26, 2025, 8:55am

I’m trying to exclude two site directories from backups. In the User Directory section, I added:

[site name]/public_html/resources/*
[site name]/public_html/wp-content/gallery/*

However, the panel still archives these directories.

What is the correct syntax for this section?

If your domain is example.net

example.net:public_html/resources:public_html/gallery

Also, if the archive continues to include these directories despite the exclusion settings, where can I check the logs or how can I troubleshoot this issue?

You must add the exclusion in Web Domains, not in User Directory.

Thanks a lot for your response. Уour suggestion worked!
The directories are now properly excluded from the backup.
