 * hi,
    I’m using mainwp and i want to add mail folder to backup. However i cannot
   navigate the mail folder. For example, path is like that: /home/username/mail
 * “username” is a variable and are there any shortcode like that %user%
    How can
   i add mail folders to backup for all websites.

    BackWPUp have a
   filter to help devs programmatically add extra folders to backup: `backwpup_dir_include`,
   so in your case, it would be something like this:
 * `add_filter('backwpup_dir_include', '/home/username/mail,/home/username/morefiles,/
   home/username/moredirs')`
 * I hope that it could help ^^

 * Hi, thanks for your reply but username is not constant, it is variable. So, in
   every single website it will change. I’m using mainwp and I need a generic solution
   for my all websites.

    I mean, you can
   use the filter then programmatically Include files, folders as you like ^^
