00:00:09.157 --> 00:00:10.722
As your web site grows

2
00:00:10.787 --> 00:00:12.288
and becomes more complex

3
00:00:13.180 --> 00:00:15.411
we might want to take 
advantage of some of the

4
00:00:15.478 --> 00:00:18.126
advanced features available in Akeeba Backup

5
00:00:18.427 --> 00:00:21.391
to exclude some data from the backup itself.

6
00:00:22.693 --> 00:00:26.444
To begin with lets look at 
the Database Tables exclusion

7
00:00:29.815 --> 00:00:31.065
Here we can see listed

8
00:00:31.365 --> 00:00:33.709
all the tables that exist in the database.

9
00:00:34.597 --> 00:00:36.659
Now, not all of these might be related

10
00:00:36.903 --> 00:00:38.136
to our WordPress web site.

11
00:00:38.326 --> 00:00:41.129
For example I have 
the database tables

12
00:00:41.211 --> 00:00:42.866
for a phpBB site.

13
00:00:44.167 --> 00:00:46.167
Akeeba Backup is very clever

14
00:00:46.436 --> 00:00:49.669
if I click on this Exclude Non-Core table

15
00:00:50.482 --> 00:00:53.417
it will go through the entire list of database tables

16
00:00:53.634 --> 00:00:56.312
and flag all the ones that are not

17
00:00:56.387 --> 00:00:58.056
part of the WordPres installation

18
00:00:58.561 --> 00:01:00.153
to be excluded from this backup.

19
00:01:02.948 --> 00:01:03.941
As you can see

20
00:01:04.161 --> 00:01:05.979
all of the phpBB tables

21
00:01:06.157 --> 00:01:07.355
have now been flagged

22
00:01:07.353 --> 00:01:09.353
to be excluded from the backup.

23
00:01:10.717 --> 00:01:12.393
I can also mark some tables

24
00:01:12.392 --> 00:01:14.951
in a slightly different way
by clicking here

25
00:01:15.102 --> 00:01:16.685
if I want to include the table

26
00:01:16.890 --> 00:01:18.124
but not include

27
00:01:18.187 --> 00:01:19.808
the contents of that table.

28
00:01:20.572 --> 00:01:23.183
For example I do need the comments table

29
00:01:23.448 --> 00:01:25.448
but I don't need to backup the comments themselves.

30
00:01:27.968 --> 00:01:29.922
If you want to see a list of all the tables

31
00:01:30.031 --> 00:01:32.523
that are going to be excluded
you can click here

32
00:01:34.988 --> 00:01:37.635
We can see the tables that 
are going to be excluded from the backup

33
00:01:38.156 --> 00:01:39.419
and those tables that

34
00:01:39.744 --> 00:01:41.907
will be included but
without their contents.

35
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.680
If you want to change
one of the settings

36
00:01:46.097 --> 00:01:49.197
click on the delete button 
to remove it from the exclusion.

37
00:01:51.125 --> 00:01:54.109
Now that we've excluded the database tables

38
00:01:54.320 --> 00:01:56.971
that are not related to this 
WordPress web site

39
00:01:56.963 --> 00:01:59.614
let's have a look at some of the files.

40
00:02:00.223 --> 00:02:02.421
If we go back to our dashboard

41
00:02:02.484 --> 00:02:04.800
we can see we have a Files & Directories

42
00:02:04.992 --> 00:02:06.516
exclusion as well.

43
00:02:08.391 --> 00:02:10.391
Over here we can see

44
00:02:10.574 --> 00:02:12.574
I have particularly large file

45
00:02:12.685 --> 00:02:14.323
which is an mp3

46
00:02:14.417 --> 00:02:16.417
that I don't need to backup

47
00:02:16.729 --> 00:02:18.729
I am going to click on this icon

48
00:02:18.885 --> 00:02:20.885
to exclude that individual file.

49
00:02:23.493 --> 00:02:24.641
Now in this site

50
00:02:24.646 --> 00:02:26.646
inside my uploads folder

51
00:02:26.750 --> 00:02:28.240
I have a large number of images

52
00:02:28.292 --> 00:02:29.886
in multiple sizes.

53
00:02:30.072 --> 00:02:31.243
They're pretty big

54
00:02:31.576 --> 00:02:33.744
and I may not want to include 
those in my backup

55
00:02:34.081 --> 00:02:36.081
as I've got a copy of them elsewhere.

56
00:02:37.046 --> 00:02:39.046
If I click on this icon here

57
00:02:39.222 --> 00:02:41.222
I can exclude all the uploads

58
00:02:42.064 --> 00:02:44.064
I could just skip the subdirectories

59
00:02:44.179 --> 00:02:46.179
by clicking here instead

60
00:02:46.257 --> 00:02:47.492
and keep the main one.

61
00:02:47.444 --> 00:02:49.924
But I am going to exclude the
entire directory.

62
00:02:52.019 --> 00:02:54.019
Again we can see a list of all the files

63
00:02:54.092 --> 00:02:56.778
that we've set to be excluded 
by clicking.

64
00:02:56.837 --> 00:02:58.837
on the summary view button.

65
00:02:59.916 --> 00:03:02.072
You can see I've set it to exclude

66
00:03:02.238 --> 00:03:03.650
the uploads folder

67
00:03:03.857 --> 00:03:05.692
and the large mp3.

68
00:03:06.956 --> 00:03:08.956
I can now return to the Control Panel

69
00:03:08.967 --> 00:03:10.382
and perform a new backup

70
00:03:11.472 --> 00:03:13.098
Any backup will now

71
00:03:13.174 --> 00:03:15.313
exclude those database tables

72
00:03:15.658 --> 00:03:18.431
that are not related to this 
WordPress web site.

73
00:03:18.444 --> 00:03:20.057
AND those large

74
00:03:20.073 --> 00:03:22.073
uploads directories and files

75
00:03:22.206 --> 00:03:24.206
which I didn't want to include.
