There are cases when it is necessary to exclude one or more databases from a database’s backup list. If you administer a small number of databases you can do it simply by unchecking those databases which you don’t need to backup anymore. But what if you administer over 50 or even 100 databases? In this case excluding databases manually one by one is very inconvenient and time-consuming.

How to Exclude Databases

With the help of SqlBak’s feature “Exclude databases” now you can accomplish it with minimal effort. Go to your “Dashboard” page and create a new backup job or edit the existing ones.

To do it simply go to the “Select databases” menu and tick “Backup all non-system databases”. The “Exclude databases” window will appear where you can specify names of databases you don’t want to backup separated by the commas. 

Once you’ve made all the changes, make sure to press the “Save & Exit” button to save them.
