Depending on the size of your sites and files.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, if you run an online store, then you can use the following settings :<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Daily backup frequency.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Retain a smaller number of backups.<\/p>\n<h2># Exclude data from backups<\/h2>\n<p>You might be using an efficient backup schedule, but in addition to that, you can exclude unnecessary data from your backups. For example, some things don&#8217;t need to have backups, like a caching folder and log files. These items consume a very large amount of disk space and are not needed to restore a site.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the time, hosting providers safely exclude the following directories from the Dropmysite backups :<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 access-logs<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 cache<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 .cagefs<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 .cpanel<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 tmp<\/p>\n<p>Read more information about Dropmysite on: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dropmysite.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.dropmysite.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read :<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1)&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.co.uk\/hosting-faqs\/learn-to-restore-your-data-using-dropmysite\/\">Learn to restore your data using Dropmysite<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the purchase of Dropmysite for your account, you need to select a specific and finite amount of backup storage space.
