I'm trying to exclude my images folder from being backup. I'm not sure if I'm doing right. I'm editing the archive.php in the classes folder. Here is what I have there.
function exclude_files($list)
{
$temp = $this->list_files($list);
foreach ($temp as $current)
$this->exclude[] = $current;
$example->exclude_files("../images/*.*");
}

No need to edit the class file.
To exclude more then one directory or file I had to change the exclude_files variable to an array. Note the changes below.
File YOUR_ADMIN/backup_zc.php
Find at line 62
```php
$exclude_files = '../cache/*.*'; // Exclude cache directory as default
Here is where you would add your list of directories/files that you want to exclude.
Replace with
// Note each directroy or file name must be surrounded with double quotes and a single comma with no space separating each.
$exclude_files = array("../cache/*.*","../images/*.*");
This change is for the display of excluded.
Fine at line 388
echo DIR_FILES_EXCLUDED.'<b>'. $exclude_files . '</b><br />';
Replace with
echo DIR_FILES_EXCLUDED.'<b>'. implode(",",$exclude_files) . '</b><br />';
This change is to match backup_zc which will download the archive.
File YOUR_ADMIN/backup_zc_download.php
Find at line 61
$exclude_files = '../cache/*.*'; // Exclude cache directory as default
Replace with
// Note each directroy or file name must be surrounded with double quotes and a single comma with no space separating each.
$exclude_files = array("../cache/*.*","../images/*.*");
Also it would be nice if there was a restore option, at least for the db.
BackUp ZC uses Zen Carts information to understand the server and web site layout. So without a good working Zen Cart the restore can not be done. This is why there is no restore option at this time.
