 * Hi,
 * By default BackWPup exclude .tmp files which seems appropriate. The issue is 
   that when this setting exists it is also excluding .tmpl files wich are entirely
   different type of file. Excluding template files (.tmpl) causes a missing file
   issue.

 * Hi [@cjsdfw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cjsdfw/),
    hmm, could you please
   explain what is the .tmpl file? and what is it for? Thank you! Just curious about
   this 😀

 * Sure,
 * It is a type of file Realtyna WPL PRO (real estate plugin) uses for multiple 
   purposes: it defines a template file to be used in a given process.
 * The point is BackWPup is confusing an extension of .tmp with .tmpl, perhaps it
   is using a “like” function instead of checking the actual file extension when
   it make the decision to exclude files.
 * EI:
    “like” .tmp% instead of “equal” .tmp where % is a wild card. Just a thought.
