Hi Alex,

Sorry for the delay, we do not work on weekends.

Regarding your problem, sure, it's very easy to exclude a folder.

Go to Akeeba Backup.

Click on Files and Directories Exclusion further down the page.

Click on the wp-content text in the left hand pane; the two panes reload (it's usually fast, blink and you'll miss it!).

On the left-hand page you see the backups folder and three icons to its left. If the leftmost icon (X) is gray, click on it; it will become dark yellow. This means that it's excluded.

If you have multiple backup profiles you will need to do that for every backup profile.

About Admin Tools please do file a new ticket or, actually, read the documentation. I am pretty sure that the Permissions Configuration page is exactly what you are looking for and it's already documented. When in doubt, read the fine manual. I spend a lot of time updating our documentation to actually be helpful, not just a token offering.

You can upload your screenshots to Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive and paste me share links to them in your reply. This is a private ticket, you can do that safely. Only Akeeba staff and you can see what is posted on this ticket.

It's always a good idea to exclude any dev sites or subdomains you may have under your main site's root. Moreover, if you have multiple sites sharing the same database but with different table name prefixes you can exclude all tables which do not have the table name prefix of your site using the RegEx Database Table Exclusion feature. Its documentation has a regex "recipe" for exactly this use case; after all, that's the exact use case I wrote this feature for!

Καλή σου μέρα και καλές δουλειές!
