 * Hi Lester Chan,
    I love WP Database Manager – however I have one big problem 
   with it. I cannot exclude certain tables. It would be great if there would be
   a way to exclude certain tables. Specifically I don’t want wp cerber and wp blc(
   wp brocken link checker plugin) tables to be included in the backup. They make
   up about half of the backup size – and really bloat up the database (e.g. make
   email backup impossible – because of breaking the 25MB limit).
 * It would be nice if this is included into the UI, but also e.g. a way to simply
   use a mu-plugin and include those tables there would be enough.
 * E.g. Updraft Plus has an exclude tables function (but besides this I really prefer
   wp database manger over Updraft plus) – [https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-can-i-exclude-a-specific-table-from-the-backup/](https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-can-i-exclude-a-specific-table-from-the-backup/)
