Backup containing media files

These snapshots are getting quite big nowadays!

Not sure if it’s necessary to backup /media folder?
Its size including subdirs is 7.3G. Mainly containing data from motioneye.

Exclude it from your backup then.

Hmm… how? I have missed that part in documentation…

How are you doing your backups?

Oh my! I always took the full snapshot. Now that i looked the partial snapshot there’s selection for media folder!

Just in case you are doing this manually, I’m pretty sure all four of these automated backup solutions also have the option to exclude addons and folders of your choosing:

To a NAS: Samba Backup: Create and store snapshots on a Samba share

To Goggle Drive: Hass.io Add-on: Hass.io Google Drive Backup

To DropBox: Hass.io Add-on: Upload hassio snapshots to Dropbox

To NextCloud: [New Addon] Snap-Shipper - Webdav backups (and probably other ways to later on)
