 * Hi,
 * Is it possible for Updraft to backup an existing directory not generated by WordPress?
 * Also is it possible for it to backup an additional (secondary) database?
 * For example I have a /forum/ directory I’d like to backup, along with it’s database.
 * They are not tied to my wordpress installation.
 * This would be absolutely amazing if it did!

 * Oh, that’s great!
 * I see that the premium version has all the add-ons!
 * If this is the add-on that lets me backup other databases: [http://updraftplus.com/shop/moredatabase/](http://updraftplus.com/shop/moredatabase/)
 * Which one is the one that lets me backup custom directories?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * It’s [http://updraftplus.com/shop/more-files/](http://updraftplus.com/shop/more-files/)–
   but buying multiple add-ons individually isn’t very economic (the smallest Premium
   package gets you two licences rather than just one).
