Hi.
Is it possible to exclude files larger than 20Mb (Or any other size) from backup ?
I have customers who backup their wordpress daily (each day new backup), store videos, ZIP their website, etc...
some files reaching 1.2Gb .
I know there is a way to exclude by extension, but I cant track all of the extensions that are being used by the backup plugins: (ZIP, WPRESS,...)
Also, there are legitimate video sized 10Mb, and non legitimate video sized 250Mb (with the same extension)

Thanks

Is not possible to exclude files based on size. But if you know in which directories large files are stored, then you could exclude those directories. For example you could use httpdocs/images/* to exclude all files in the images directory.

Thanks.
lets see if it is a needed feature...

exclude large files from backup

Some customers store large videos for their website, some of them just zip an entire website for manual backup or download, and keep it in the server storage. some have wordpress backup plugins that will generate >500Mb files with weird extension. others just can't understand that a PNG file...
