 * Hi, is there a way to exclude a folder from backups?
    My “uploads” folder is 
   too heavy to copy. Thank you

 * Currently, there is no option for excluding a specific folder from backing up.
   However, we plan to add this feature in future release. Please allow us some 
   time. Thanks in advance.

 * Thanks to you. It is very important to exclude some too heavy media folders.

 * Hi [@nicholas2019](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicholas2019/), has this
   been implemented yet?
 * It would be very useful to be able to exclude specific folders from a backup.
