 * Hello, is it possible to exclude accounts from a backup/restore, or from staging?
 * My source site has accounts Dev1 and Dev2.
 * My destination site has accounts Founder, Member1, Subscriber2, etc.
 * I don’t want the Dev accounts in the source site to overwrite the accounts in
   the destination site.

 * Hi [@johnywhy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnywhy/)
 * do you mean user accounts?
   For staging creation or pushing a staging site, this
   is possible by using these filters we have here: [https://wp-staging.com/docs/actions-and-filters/#Exclude_Rows_From_Cloning](https://wp-staging.com/docs/actions-and-filters/#Exclude_Rows_From_Cloning)
   [https://wp-staging.com/docs/actions-and-filters/#Exclude_Rows_From_Pushing_Copy_Only_Specific_Rows](https://wp-staging.com/docs/actions-and-filters/#Exclude_Rows_From_Pushing_Copy_Only_Specific_Rows)
   You have to use adjust that query and then can add the filter into a mu-plugin
   or use the wp staging hooks plugin.If you need help writing the filter, please
   contact us here: [https://wp-staging.com/support/](https://wp-staging.com/support/)
   For backup creation, this is currently not possible, but it’s such a good idea
   that we will discuss if we should add it as a feature.All the bestRené
