How do I backup only certain folders?

Hi Folks,


In Time Machine, how do I limit the backups to only certain folders?




Many thanks in advance!

In Time Machine, you can select which folders you don't want to back up. Open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options, and add the folders you don't want to make backups to excluded list.


If you only want to make a backup of some folders, you might consider the option to use a third-party application like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper, that allow you to select which folders you want to back up`
