Hi all,
I am using Samba Backup daily with great success. Recently I integrated my Nest cameras which store clips under config/nest/event_media. These files are resulting in daily backups in excess of 500mb. I don’t wish to disable them from being stored within Home Assistant however I don’t need to back them up. I have reviewed Samba Backup and I see that you can exclude folders, however it appears that you can only exclude homeassistant
, ssl
, share
, addons/local
and media
folders.
Is there some other way to exclude the Nest folders?
Below is my config:
host: 192.168.4.12
share: holmes
target_dir: acomputer/backups/home assistant
username: tomthumborsomeotherusernamewhichwouldbevalidatedonmynetwork
password: Myverspecialpasswordwhichnoonewouldeverguessin1millionyearsmaybemorenothisisnotmyrealpassword
keep_local: 3
keep_remote: 5
trigger_time: '22:43'
trigger_days:
- Mon
- Tue
- Wed
- Thu
- Fri
- Sat
- Sun
exclude_addons: []
exclude_folders:
- config/nest
- media
backup_name: '{type} Backup {date}'
If I am unable to exclude this folder using Samba Backup, is there another backup application which would?
Thank you!
Tom
