One of the new sites i'm developing and m using ABP on needs video content. Currently these are added automatically to the default backup profile. These videos are stored in <siteroot>/images/videos. I know i can exclude directories from the main backup profile but i'm not entirely sure what i need to do for the following

* exclude the /images/videos folder from the main backup profile (so the backup size is significantly reduced, a single backup currently runs 1.7GB), pretty big for a daily cron task
* create a new profile that backups ONLY the /images/videos folder (and configure ABP so those types of backups, which i plan to run once a week via cron) only retain 1 backup and no more

Kind regards, and i hope everyone is safe from corona there!

I did find a backup type option "Site files only" under Basic configuration don't know if that's very different, but combining that with excluding all root folder (minus the /images one) and excluding all folders except the /videos one in it i pretty much achieved success.

Main profile: normal backup type but /images/videos is excluded > results in a "normal" backup size of around 230MB
Videos profile: backup type: "site files only", All directories exclude except the specific /images/videos one results in a backup of 1.5GB.

Those 2 sizes combined account for the previous 1.7GB so looks like everything is peachy :)

Is there anything i need to check / configure profile wise to do the following

Daily backup via cron (obviously at the server level cron command) but:

Default profile (dailies), retain only 1 obsolete entry. Max 30 (+1 obsolete) in total
video's profile (weekly), retain only 1 obsolete entry, Max 1 obsolete entry in total.

that solves tha problem then. Thanks!
