I just got Akeeba Pro and did a set of scheduled backups last night.
They did a remote backup to my Onedrive account. All was perfect except one of the files is way too large, and must include the mp3 folder for this account.
In file exclusions that mp3 folder is excluded.

Does Akeeba Pro Scheduled Remote Backups ignore File Exclusions?

(I will link the backup file as soon as I can but I have to download it from my onedrive account and then upload it back to the server)

Also, I couldn't find a way to search the ticket system?
Thanks for your help,
Mike

Mike,

File exclusions, table exclusions, extra databases, etc. are all part of the Backup Profile that you set up in the main screen of Akeeba Backup. When you do a CRON backup, you are using one of these Profiles to control the options in that backup, just as you would in a back end backup. If you don't specify a backup profile, Profile #1 is used as the default. So, did it skip your exclusions? I can give you a definite maybe. You need to make sure the exclusions are in the profile that you're using for the CRON backup.

It is easier to find big stuff in the backup log than it is in the archive itself. Download the log, open it in a text editor and search for "Large directory" or "Large file". Look in the root for a backup archive that shouldn't be there. There are lots of possibilities.

Dale!
Thanks so much, you totally rock! I had misunderstood the directions about adding the profile to the cron job. I'll get that fixed.
Thanks so much for your help!
