Exclude Image Thumbnails From UpdraftPlus Backups Plugin

A small plugin to exclude WordPress generated image thumbnails from Updraft backups, saving space. The original, full-sized image is included in backups, so if a restoration from backup is needed, WP CLI or a plugin can be used to regenerate thumbnails using the original, full-size images.

Features:

• Works for all image types and includes both native and custom image sizes added by themes and plugins.

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

1. Ensure UpdraftPlus Backup/Restore is installed and activated
2. Upload the plugin to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
