Is there a way to configure a different set of table exclusions for each different backup profile?  For example, in one backup profile I want to only include a certain set of tables for a specific client.  In another profile I want to include all tables for my own system backup.  My one specific client would like for me to be able to send them their tables if required.  I know we could simply backup and restore the complete database, and then export their specific tables, but I was hoping to avoid that due to my database size if possible.

It doesn't look like this configuration is available, but I wanted to confirm just in case I missed something.

Thanks.

Hello,

yes!

All backup filters (files, folders, tables etc) are stored on a profile basis. This means that the backup profile #1 can backup everything, backup profile #2 can exclude some folders and backup profile #3 can exclude some tables.

Simply switch to the correct backup profile before storing the exclusions.
