Exclude media folder from backup

Hello everyone!
Is there a way to exclude the media folder from backup? I’m using home assistant in a docker container.

Thanks!

Why don’t I have this option in my HA?

Then if you have backups enabled which it sounds like you do, use the mylink button above and scroll down.
If the mylink doesn’t work, make sure the URL to your HA machine is there.

Did you see my screenshot in the first post? I don’t have that option

Are you an administrator? Might be in the advanced list, don’t know.
It’s there, though, somewhere.

This might be the solution…
@andrewrings is “Advanced mode” turned on at your profile?

andrewrings · October 6, 2025, 8:07pm

I’m Administrator and Advanced mode is On.

Are you guys sure it is available in container installation?

I am not sure, just trying to help
