 * Hello there . I hope you’re all well .
    Can I include/exclude specific folders
   from backup. I have one huge folder named big123. The files in this folder are
   by months , like in wp-uploads. 2022/ 06/ etc. It’s no need to backup every day
   folder big123/2021= 10GB For example Im using gravity form to collect uploads
   and larger files from users and am running full website backup to dropbox However
   I want to backup only the gravity form upload folder to Amazon S3 account only,
   and then backup the entire site to dropbox but will exclude gravity form upload
   folder from being uploaded to dropbox. Please, is there a way around this?

 * Hi,
 * Here’s how you can exclude a file/folder from the backup – [https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-can-i-exclude-particular-filesdirectories-from-the-backup/](https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-can-i-exclude-particular-filesdirectories-from-the-backup/)
 * To backup specific file and folder only outside of the “wp-content” you will 
   already need premium version.

 * super, thank you for your answer.
    I was following this thread and thought there
   was no solution, or solution is by code editing. [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-specific-folder-only-backup/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-specific-folder-only-backup/)
 * The folder is in wp-content.

 * Hi,
 * I think you could use the [More Files](https://updraftplus.com/shop/more-files/)
   premium add-on to backup the folder. You will also have to exclude/not backup
   the other components in this case.
 * Thanks,

 * Thanks for the answer.
    I didn’t see the screenshot. So can I use this feature
   to upload a specific folder to S3, and download it in zip/gzip directly to the
   WP server file system, but not replace the original folder.
