Where do I go to exclude all cache, backup and temp folders from being included in the backup?

Hello

Hello

I’ve done that and I get the same result.

No I didn’t.

Hello Daniel

I’ve tested the version based on the link you provided and it worked. When I go to run the backup I get

WARNING: Job restarts due to inactivity for more than 5 minutes.

One thing I also noticed that I didn’t have anything entered into the wp_sitemeta (MU Blog) table for backwpup_cfg_jobmaxexecutiontime.
