Hi

I would like to exclude the contents of db table mijosef_urls

But in the column params is has some text for example

{"custom":1,"published":1,"locked":1,"blocked":0,"trashed":0,"notfound":0,"tags":0,"ilinks":0,"bookmarks":0,"visited":"1","notes":""}

I want to make sure i still backup the ones that have "custom":1,

As i need to keep those, can you please help me and tell me what to do?

You can't do that. Even though in theory it would be possible for us to create such a feature, our benchmarks showed that it would slow down the backup over 10 times (a backup that used to take 1 minute would now take over ten minutes and a typical large site backup that took about an hour would now take over ten HOURS). This is an unacceptable performance impact, so we decided to never implement this feature.
