Marc Stridgen Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 If you are creating a backup as of x point in time, you should be backing up all files and folders, not just some. However if you are restricted on space you could actually exclude items such as admin, applications and system. But only do this if you ensure you make a full backup every time you upgrade, or add any applications/plugins (you should do this anyway) The reason you could technically exclude those, is you could always just download a copy of them from your client area.

dutchsnowden Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 No, it's not a space restriction I am talking about. Most item in data store seem volatile and changed every few seconds by background tasks. They are small and do not matter, but they seem data data should not be backed up and clutter logs each time an incremental rsync is ran. That is all.

Datastore can be rebuilt for the most part, yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
