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.
