 * Currently there’s a feature where you can Exclude certain files, one by one. 
   I’m suggesting an alternative where you instead of selecting files and folder
   you _don’t_ want backed up instead this would allow you to click files and folders
   to only include.
 * I only ask because a website I’m working with has a bunch of kibble in the root
   I guess they use as storage and I **only** want to back up the wp-content directory
   but to do so I would need to go through and exclude every single file that isn’t
   necessary in the root.
 * Not an issue just a feature request 🙂

 * Hi there [@howdy_mcgee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/howdy_mcgee/) – we
   do have plans to refine the exclusions process and being able to choose only 
   one folder or file to backup is included within that enhancement request. Thanks
   so much for being a user of BackUpWordPress and let me know if you’d like a link
   to the GitHub issue/feature request so you can keep track of the progress, however
   slow 😉
 * Thanks again,
    Kat
