WEBVTT 1 00:00:10.441 --> 00:00:12.006 As your web site grows 2 00:00:12.071 --> 00:00:13.572 and becomes more complex 3 00:00:13.816 --> 00:00:16.047 we might want to take advantage of some of the 4 00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:18.788 advanced features available in Akeeba Backup 5 00:00:19.478 --> 00:00:22.442 to exclude some data from the backup itself. 6 00:00:23.977 --> 00:00:27.728 To begin with lets look at the Database Tables exclusion 7 00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:30.329 Here we can see listed 8 00:00:30.370 --> 00:00:32.714 all the tables that exist in the database. 9 00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:36.052 Now, not all of these might be related 10 00:00:36.218 --> 00:00:37.451 to our Joomla web site. 11 00:00:38.056 --> 00:00:40.859 For example here I had the database tables 12 00:00:41.381 --> 00:00:43.036 for a phpBB site. 13 00:00:44.260 --> 00:00:46.260 Now Akeeba is very clever 14 00:00:46.503 --> 00:00:49.736 if I click on this Exclude Non-Core table 15 00:00:50.575 --> 00:00:53.510 it will go through the entire list of database tables 16 00:00:54.090 --> 00:00:56.768 and flag all the ones that are not 17 00:00:56.843 --> 00:00:58.512 part of this Joomla installation 18 00:00:58.654 --> 00:01:00.246 to be excluded from the backup. 19 00:01:01.124 --> 00:01:02.117 As you can see 20 00:01:02.540 --> 00:01:04.540 all of the phpBB tables 21 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:05.997 have now been flagged 22 00:01:06.124 --> 00:01:08.124 to be excluded from the backup. 23 00:01:09.696 --> 00:01:11.372 I can also see several tables 24 00:01:11.630 --> 00:01:14.189 that also have been marked in a slightly different way. 25 00:01:14.832 --> 00:01:16.119 These are some of the core 26 00:01:16.231 --> 00:01:17.465 tables for our web site 27 00:01:17.736 --> 00:01:19.357 that are related to finder, 28 00:01:19.395 --> 00:01:21.395 tokens and sessions. 29 00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:24.479 In this case we do want to restore 30 00:01:24.495 --> 00:01:25.922 the database table 31 00:01:26.075 --> 00:01:27.806 but we don't want to transfer 32 00:01:27.836 --> 00:01:28.717 the contents. 33 00:01:28.723 --> 00:01:30.723 So the field has been flagged 34 00:01:30.971 --> 00:01:33.285 here for do not backup its contents. 35 00:01:34.697 --> 00:01:36.172 If you want to see a list of all the 36 00:01:36.300 --> 00:01:38.180 tables that are going to be excluded 37 00:01:38.582 --> 00:01:40.451 you can click on Summary View. 38 00:01:42.072 --> 00:01:44.090 If you want to change one of the settings 39 00:01:44.086 --> 00:01:46.086 you can click on the delete button 40 00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:46.933 to remove it 41 00:01:46.983 --> 00:01:48.213 from the exclusion. 42 00:01:48.761 --> 00:01:51.013 Now that we've excluded the database tables 43 00:01:51.418 --> 00:01:53.418 that are not related to this web site 44 00:01:53.901 --> 00:01:55.901 let's have a look at some of the files. 45 00:01:57.289 --> 00:01:58.947 If we go back to our Control Panel 46 00:01:59.733 --> 00:02:01.943 we can see we have a Files & Directories 47 00:02:01.965 --> 00:02:03.115 exclusion as well. 48 00:02:07.606 --> 00:02:08.542 We can see 49 00:02:08.652 --> 00:02:11.113 that some folders have already been marked 50 00:02:11.238 --> 00:02:13.238 so that their contents and any files in them 51 00:02:13.398 --> 00:02:14.968 will not to be backed up. 52 00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:18.149 such as the cache and temp. 53 00:02:18.331 --> 00:02:20.331 as we would not want to transfer those 54 00:02:20.401 --> 00:02:21.795 across to a new site. 55 00:02:23.938 --> 00:02:25.086 Now in this site 56 00:02:25.586 --> 00:02:27.075 inside my images folder 57 00:02:27.270 --> 00:02:29.270 I have several large folders 58 00:02:29.585 --> 00:02:32.135 downloads and videos. 59 00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:33.770 They're pretty large 60 00:02:33.899 --> 00:02:36.067 and I don't want to include those in my backup 61 00:02:36.252 --> 00:02:38.252 as I've got a copy of them elsewhere. 62 00:02:40.145 --> 00:02:41.767 If I click on this icon here 63 00:02:42.170 --> 00:02:45.007 I can exclude the entire video directory. 64 00:02:45.974 --> 00:02:47.974 I can do the same for my downloads 65 00:02:48.249 --> 00:02:51.926 or I could just skip the subdirectories and keep the main one 66 00:02:53.957 --> 00:02:55.969 Over here we can see I have 67 00:02:56.017 --> 00:02:57.555 one particularly large file 68 00:02:57.650 --> 00:03:00.980 which is a pdf which I also don't need to backup. 69 00:03:02.235 --> 00:03:03.735 I am going to click on that icon 70 00:03:03.953 --> 00:03:05.953 to exclude that individual file. 71 00:03:08.544 --> 00:03:10.544 Again we can see a list of all the files 72 00:03:10.617 --> 00:03:13.303 that we've set to be excluded by clicking. 73 00:03:13.340 --> 00:03:15.161 You can see I've set it to exclude 74 00:03:15.213 --> 00:03:17.213 the directory images/videos 75 00:03:17.281 --> 00:03:19.116 images/downloads 76 00:03:19.253 --> 00:03:21.253 and the file with that pdf. 77 00:03:22.991 --> 00:03:24.991 I can now return to the Control Panel 78 00:03:25.491 --> 00:03:26.906 and perform a new backup 79 00:03:27.302 --> 00:03:28.928 and that will EXCLUDE 80 00:03:28.963 --> 00:03:30.497 those database tables that are 81 00:03:30.794 --> 00:03:32.794 not related to this Joomla web site. 82 00:03:33.294 --> 00:03:34.907 AND those large 83 00:03:35.005 --> 00:03:37.005 downloads and videos directories 84 00:03:37.169 --> 00:03:39.169 which I decided I didn't want to include.
