Reverse Filtering

    I have several websites setup as addon domains on the same hosting package. Each of these sites has their own WP installation. I’d like to individually backup my addon sites using duplicator but the build seems to try to include every file in public_html (which makes the total size too large to handle). I’d like to limit what duplicator is working with to within a specific director, e.g., public_html/mywebsite.com/.

    I realize I COULD use the filter section to exclude every single other file and directory in my public_html except for public_html/mywebsite.com/, but is there an easier way?

    (PS I did search the FAQ and this forum for a bit and couldn’t find a similar issue so I apologize if this is duplicated somewhere).

    Thanks,
    Jon

    If you have your sites setup such as:

    public_html/mywebsite_1.com/(wp site files here)
    public_html/mywebsite_2.com/(wp site files here)

    Then for mywebsite_1.com the root folder should be

    public_html/mywebsite_1.com/

    And Duplicator should only be scanning the files in that directory. Unless your host has some type of alias or server separation setting enabled.

    Thanks for the response, Cory!

    It sounds like my host might have something going on with the settings on their end as you mentioned. To help confirm that, here is some more info if it helps. The whole addon domain / sub domain setup is a little over my head so I apologize if I sound like I’m insulting anyone’s intelligence here.

    If “fruits” is my main site…

    for http://apples.com
    the true url is http://apples.fruits.com
    the directory is actually at public_html/apples.com
    apples.com and apples.fruits.com will both take you to the same place.

    Another example (just to be as clear as possible):

    for http://bananas.com
    the true url is http://bananas.fruits.com
    the directory is actually at public_html/bananas.com
    bananas.com and bananas.fruits.com will both take you to the same place.

    I’m not seeing anywhere within Duplicator that I can actually change the settings so it knows that it should only be looking at public_html/apples.com. So is this something I should check into with my hosting?

    Thanks again for the help!

    Hey Nightstick,

    Not sure if I understand what your wanting? to add a directory path you can Goto Packages New Screen > Archive Section > Files Table > Check Enable File Filters and enter in your directories.

    Thanks
