 * Hello,
 * as I use duplicator to backup my website, I would like to know if the “cache”
   folder in wp-content is essential for a restore or not?
    Everytime I analyze 
   the package Duplicator is about to create, I get warned by the size of the folder“
   cache” and also about some file names with invalid characters created in the 
   cache/page-enhanced folder.
 * Thanks for the help
