    Default Domain Backups

    Firstly I'd just like to say what an excellent feature the domain backups is on RFH. It definitely saves a lot of effort and hassle.

    However there is a limitation of 500mb space per backup which is now causing me a bit of a problem as the site I run is 1gb in size. A lot of the space is taken up by user uploaded content (CV's, images and videos). I'd like to be able to do a backup minus the CV/images and videos folder so it was just the site scripts and pages etc which are spread over quite a few folders. The problem is that if you selected a folder using the UI it only lets you pick one. I was wondering if it'd be possible to selected say every folder in wwwroot minus the CV/images and videos folder for example.

    Then I could do these 3 folders the next day on a seperate backup. Hope that made some sense.

    It would require a fair bit of work to do that, so cannot say it is something we can easily add.

    However, the best solution is to store all that content in a root folder (along side/outside wwwroot) so that you can just specify wwwroot as the folder to backup.

    Default Small suggestion for backup

    I do backups quite frequently and wonder if on the email "Your Domain Backup Job - Complete" if it would be possible to add the url

    e.g. ftp://ftp.bookholidayrentals.com/270...394_backup.zip

    One click would then prompt for userid & password and the download would commence.

    David.

    That would be really nice. That way it can be multilanguage as well.
