Cannot delete old exclude

    I created a folder exclude a long time ago in a previous version of the plugin.

    Now, I do not have the option to stop excluding this folder.
    The folder in question is a normal folder with one subfolder that contains .xls files. Folder and file permissions are correct. It is named decklogs:
    /public_html/decklogs/

    I have: deleted all schedules, completely uninstalled the plugin, manually deleted all traces of hmbkp and schedules from the database, deleted all cache and cookies (domain, path and session), entirely deleted cron from the database, re-installed the plugin. I’ve done this several times.

    I even regenerated my Authentication Unique Keys and Salts in wp-config to kill all nonces and cookies.

    After doing all of the above, upon reinstalling, the default “Complete Manually” schedule when created is STILL excluding the /decklogs/ folder, its /xls/ subdirectory, and all of the .xls files and I cannot stop excluding any of these.

    n.b.: I have not added any excludes to the wp-config file.

    In looking at the plugin code, I don’t see anything that would cause this. Presumably it’s getting a “user_schedule” from somewhere?, but I don’t see where.

    Apparently, this is caused by the plugin’s default include of “.log”

    This fixes my problem (class-excludes.php):

    	private $default_excludes = array(
		'.svn',
		'_svn',
		'CVS',
		'_darcs',
		'.arch-params',
		'.monotone',
		'.bzr',
		'.git',
		'.hg',
// 		'.log',
		'backupwp',
		'backwpup-*',
		'updraft',
		'wp-snapshots',
		'backupbuddy_backups',
		'pb_backupbuddy',
		'backup-db',
		'Envato-backups',
		'managewp',
		'backupwordpress-*-backups',
	);

    … but obviously now log files will get backed up as well.
