WTH - exclude from full backup

Imagine you define your include list with the current partial backup (since you do not want to backup everything) and then install a new element (eg addon) this addon won’t be the part of your backup automation.

Please add a selectable/multiselect exclusion list for the full backup service on the frontend (and the corresponding yaml part for the automations as it is in the backup dialog:

or rework the current partial backup by adding exclusion list belong the inclusion list… - it’s up on the developers.

Wouldn’t this be solved even better by a checkbox in the dialog for adding add-ons, that lets you select if it needs to be included in backups? That way, it works with both include and exclude lists.

I think in this case we push the responsibility to the add-on owners to implement it (which can take eternity times), additionally it does not solve the problem of the folder exclusions.

I meant to include it in the HA dialog that you get when you install an add-on from the add-on store. That’s not the add-on developers. A checkbox next to the word ‘install’ here:
