    Hi,

    I’m using UpdraftPlus on multiple sites and I’m very satisfied with it.
    But now I have one site that uses a very big theme that rarely updates (once in a couple of months) and I want to exclude it from the backups.
    I do however use a light child theme that I would like to keep backing up.

    So is there any way of excluding one theme from backups?

    Hi, you can exclude any directory and its contents by adding a file named ‘.donotbackup’ to that directory.

    Add this file to the directory of the theme you wish to exclude from the backups, and UpdraftPlus will skip it.
