Description of my issue:
Looked through public tickets and could not find this topic addressed. We have Akeeba Backup Professional 5.2.5 on a Joomla 3.6.5 site hosted on a KnownHost VPS. We recently added some large databases to our server which are not related to the Joomla website, but reside in the same /var/mysql folder as ourJoomla database and are available through the same MSQL server. Akeeba wants to back these new databases and we cannot find a way to exclude them, can you help?
