Single file exclusion

Ever had a file in your site's root put there by your host? Or how about that 200Mb video file in the media directory you don't want to backup? If you need to exclude just a few files here and there but let the other files in the directory be backed up, you can use the Single File Exclusion feature of JoomlaPack.

[Note]Note

The settings on this page are defined per profile . Make sure you have selected the desired profile in the Control Panel page.

The Single File Exclusion operates in an explorer like interface. Just below the page's title you can see the path to the current directory, relative to the site's root, in bold letters. Below it, there are two tables. The left hand table displays the subdirectories of the current directory. Clicking on an entry will make that directory current. The right-hand table displays the files contained in the current directory. Excluded files are displayed in red bold type. Clicking on a file will toggle its exclusion status.

[Tip]Tip

Directories excluded by means of the Directory Exclusion option appear in the left hand table in black italicised type. You can't make these directories current because there is no point; their files will not be part of the backup anyway.

You may have noticed that there is a button entitled Tabular View in the toolbar of this page. Clicking on this icon changes the view to a Joomla!-standard tabular view. Its purpose is to provide a convenient interface for getting an overview of all applied filters, no matter how deep they are in the file system hierarchy and - possibly - delete some of them.

All of the set filters are shown in a table, one filter per row. Clicking the check box on the left of the filter selects it. The Delete button on the toolbar removes the selected filters. The Normal View button returns you to the default view (non-tabular) of this filter.
