Files excluded from backups

At Templ we perform daily automatic backups of all websites hosted on Templ, except for staging sites.

Some files and directories are excluded from our backups. These are temporary files, logs, caches, and other backup tools' files - excluding them keeps backups smaller, faster to create, and faster to restore, without losing anything your site needs.
