Issue Exclude directories from scheduled serverwide backups

[robotic]

Hi, I want to exclude directories in a domain from a scheduled serverwide backup.
I tried (Plesk root is under /mnt/vhosts/ on that server)

/mnt/vhosts/domain.com/*
/mnt/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/*
/domain.com/*
*/domain.com/*
domain.com/httpdocs/*
/domain.com/httpdocs/*

But its still backing up everything.

P.S.:
IMHO it would make much more sense, if one could pick what to include in a backup, using the same UI you got for the restore dialog.

only possible via cli and not via scheduled gui backup

I don't think so, there's a textbox in the scheduling dialog to provide paths to exclude, allowing wildcards, but it does nothing.

the text box works as designed and there you can exclude common files / folders like cache and so on but not domains

but if you belive it is a issue on your system, feel free to open a report

I'd rather prefer to have the UI to select what to backup, than what to exclude.
And I've tried all of the above path variations and nothing was excluded.
I'll open a report, thanks.

I just figured I'm in the wrong forum, as it's on Plesk Obsidian ...

yeah this is very wrong, how come that exclude box doesnt works for domains? doesnt make any sense, then how people exclude domains? always opening a terminal to run a CLI command?
