Thank you! success! activity log shows a backup was made correctly

Can you please clear up one more point for me? what does this option mean exactly within the general settings? I’m trying to determine if it applies to me. Thanks again for all your help!

WordPress not in the root:

By default, only the directory containing the WordPress installation is backed up. However, if you have placed your WordPress installation in its own subdirectory, and you wish to backup all files in your website root also, this option will allow you to do just that.
If you are unsure, or have not installed WordPress into its own subdirectory, you should leave this option disabled as you may end up backing up more than expected.

Backup the parent directory as well as the WordPress directory: /home/_____________

“_____________” above being the same directory/folder that I blanked out in the above screenshots

Thank you Jason, how exactly would I exclude the folder? by adding “backup-3915d” obviously without quotes! to the “Filesystem Excludes:” section?

do I have to detail the file path as well or just the name of the folder?

Thank you!! appreciate your help

Hi Driskell,

there is also a screenshot of mySQL file manager showing a partial list of files in backup-3915d

using plugin version 2.2.1 with WP 3.3.1

Thank you for your quick response Driskell.

I entered error_log into the “Filesystem Excludes:” section under General Settings (inside the box just after it says “If backing up the WordPress parent folder, you can exclude items at that level by prefixing the entry with “../” (dot dot forward-slash) like this: ../parent/exclude”)

Clicked save settings and then I attempted to backup manually to the vault.

It resulted in a failure.

This time there are no details provided, it just says: “The backup failed:”
